Twice as Much Sunshine
In the UK, the grey skies can go on for weeks at a time without a ray of sun. By contrast, Bulgaria gets quite a bit more sunshine, including during the wintertime.Varna, Dobrich, and Burgas average around 2300 hours of sunshine each year.
Bulgaria offers a sunnier climate while it has four distinct seasons as the country lies between the continental and Mediterranean climatic zones. Although the coastal climate is moderated by the Black Sea, the continental influence is stronger during the winter. The Mediterranean influence increases during the summer and produces hot, dry weather in the daytime and relieving breezy evenings.
