Weather update

Not a great deal going on except that temperatures are starting to come down slowly.

If things go to data, then there will be the first reasonable dump of snow early part of this coming week (2nd to 4th Dec) for the higher parts of the resorts. I must admit, I concentrate on Borovets but I am sure it does not vary that much between resorts.

Temperatures over next weekend (5th & 6th) will tumble a bit but not enough to give base camp in Boro any snow.

Things are begining to look ...

Things are begining to look quite good, so give it 10 days or so and I think the web cams will start to show some white stuff !!

Take no notice whatsoever of weather forecasts for Bansko region, always shows snow forecast 3to4 days in the future, last weeks snow for Tuesday/ Wednesday now looks like rain. Same last season, I am sure it is sponsored by the travel industry to get people to book holidays.

tik - I've noticed that .... weather forecasts are always what you are looking for when there's a national holiday or school half term ....... until you get there!

Mark have you ever thought of working for the BBC they are hopless as well. It would be a lot better paid than working Bulgaria.

re: Weather update

Howdy fellas--its been a while, but time getting close to drying out the seaweed etc ready for more festive fun. As you have already hinted Mark, starting to look interesting into next week with most of the main models settling into a more familar winter set up, with highs to the north and some true cold spreading across Europe-possibly into the Uk as well--interesting watching the next few days isn't it!
