You will find a 10-day forecast for Bourgas on the following website: http://www.weather.com/activities/travel/vacationplanner/weather/tenday.html?locid=BUXX0001&from=search_10day.
Looks as though the weather is as variable in Bulgaria as it is here, at the moment.
We usually go to Turkey in September and the weather is always glorious, we are going to Bulgaria for the first time in May and I'm wondering about the weather.
How hot is it during the day; do you need cardigan at night; is there a lot of difference in temp in early and late May.
Also, do you need a similar amount of spending money as you do in Turkey?
Any advice would be welcome.

Hi Skilly,
Welcome to the board.
If you click the 'HERE' link in my post above yours, you will find weather underground 10-year historical weather data for 12-26th May for the Burgas/Sunny Beach area - you can adjust the dates or location to suit your own requirements - you may well need some warm clothing in the evenings in May.
Haven't been to Turkey since there were about 250,000 Lira to the Pound, but Bulgaria is very cheap in comparison with most European destinations, especially outside the resort areas - its new EU member status may have some effect on prices, but should not be too much of an immediate increase because of minute local salaries.

The problem in May is not so much the weather as the fact that the holiday season in Bulgaria does not officially start until mid June.
You may find not all facilities - bars, restaurants, kids clubs, and stalls etc, are up and running in May.
Most resorts are just that - no one lives there and they are only open in Summer. Only a handful of hotels on the whole of the Black Sea coast are open all year.

Hi Susan,
I went to Bulgaria(Sunny Beach) at the back end of May and the weather was hit and miss when i was there,a couple of wet days and cold at night so a cardigan will definitely come in handy,so the later in May the better if you cant make it any other month.
Also as Peter said, when i was there not everything was open, although there was still a lot of bars, restaurants and shops, but the locals said everything doesn't open till the first weekend in June.

just booked to go Golden Sands MAY 17th for a week, my brother in law who is now living somewhere near Varna is going to have an almighty shock when we turn up on his doorstep, we will stay at our hotel for a couple of days then get a taxi to his place, what I want to know is what is the weather normally like that time of year, will we need jumpers and long trousers etc. as normally only pack shorts but never been Bulgaria this early before been 3 times before and baked in August, also what currency is best taken now, 5 years since we were last in Sunny Beach and just took £ and changed at the hotel when we needed, is it still the same or not, do I need euros? any answers will be most appreciated. Thanks 
Weather could be mixed at that time of year.
Money, same as before, still using the Lev for at least a couple more years, but there are more and more cashpoints each year.

As Patka says, the weather in May can be mixed, historical weather data suggests temperature ranges between the mid-40s to mid-70s Fahrenheit.
If you have a Nationwide Flex Account Debit Card, I have always found that to be the best way of drawing up to 400 Leva per day from ATMs in Bulgaria - no transaction charges, a better exchange rate than cash and safer to carry (the usual caveats about the secure use of ATMs apply, of course).

We went to SB in may a few years ago, the weather was mixed some hot days and some cloudy and chilly days, so i would take some warmer clothes just in case, hopefully the weather will be kind to you and you won't need them, but i'm sure you'll have a lovely time whatever the weather.

May is getting near the high season so will be warm atleast 60 i would say but you may get a hot spell also which could be nearer 75 - 80oc.
I think Bulgaria has had a warm period so far this year. Take a cardi just in case.

May is getting near high season - The high season for Bulgaria is July and August. The season officially starts Mid June, before then you could well find not all facilities up and running and building work going on.

We went to S.B at the end of May a few years ago it was very warm in the day, lots of sun burnt people around and fairly cold in the evening.
We did have one morning where it rained spectacularly.
