WEATHER UPDATE 14th JAN..10 days of snow



Hi folks,

For those who have been reading my forecasts will see that they are not bad. There are many websites out there offering forecasts and these can be very hit and miss and rely on what "should" be happening in a ski resort this time of year. I will be honest and state that my forecasts are based around Borovets, being Lat 42 and Long 23. Sometimes the weather can be similar in the other resorts but I don’t have the time to look at pages of data for the 3 resorts and give 3 ...


Hi folks,

For those who have been reading my forecasts will see that they are not bad. There are many websites out there offering forecasts and these can be very hit and miss and rely on what "should" be happening in a ski resort this time of year. I will be honest and state that my forecasts are based around Borovets, being Lat 42 and Long 23. Sometimes the weather can be similar in the other resorts but I don’t have the time to look at pages of data for the 3 resorts and give 3 different forecasts. I can only apologise for that if you are heading to Bansko or Pamps but they will be similar to Borovets.

As I have been saying the temperatures are dropping fast. I noticed in Borovets village yesterday they peaked at +2C, but today around -5C but it is going to get MUCH colder by Tuesday before they rise again leading up to next weekend (Fri 20th) After this. It is not certain to what they are doing but early indications suggest a period of around zero or -1 to -2.
As for snow, Sunday through to Tuesday and probably constantly. Maybe not too heavy though.

But here is my bold prediction and putting my reputation on the line !!! From the 19th there will be 10 days straight of snow with some significant falls over the weekend into the early part of next week (24th/25th)
Please do not shoot me if the snow lays off for a few hours within the 10 day period, but I am sure it will be snowing on each of the 10 days. There you are its done !!

Have fun and I will keep you updated. Cheers

Hi Mark,
Just a quick question. Bit of forward planning. Book my leave 26/01/2013 & 02/03/13. Where will the most snow be Bansko or Borovets? Where is the best Rakia ??

Got to get in there before Manc Tom.

S.P. Very Happy

Wow! What a forecast... You've been a-ok, so i think everyone trusts you! Very Happy

Looking forward to the forecast for early Feb next... Like you say, most long-range forcasts are hit and miss and i can only see up to 30/1.

Fingers crossed it doesn't warm up too much... a dump before 10 Feb would be good too!

Happy days... Skiing

re: WEATHER UPDATE 14th JAN..10 days of snow

we arrive the following weekend (28th) and cant wait. If Mark's weather predictions are correct looks like we're in for a cracking session on the slopes. This is my first time in borovets and was a little nervous about the conditions. May see you there!!! Very Happy

S.P.

I'll have to get my events organiser to block book those dates.
I also think your leathers are a bit tight, or did you paint them on ?

Dear Weather God,

Like it or not you are the source of hope to all of us mortals travelling to B, B or P. Even a fortnightly overview of Bansko and pamps would be welcomed. Can't believe the difference between Boro and Bansko recently.

Please feed the need ! Snowfall
