Bulgaria Braces for 42 Degrees Celsius This Weekend

Bulgaria braces for an extremely hot weekend, as experts have predicted that tropical air masses are to enter the country via North Africa.

Temperatures are to reach between 35 and 41 degrees centigrade in most places. However, some Bulgarian regions may have to cope with 42 degrees.

Bulgaria's National Institute for Meteorology and Hydrology expects temperatures to cool off on Monday and Tuesday, reaching 31-32 degrees in Sofia and 35-36 in South-eastern Bulgaria.

The Balkan country is already roasting in an intense heat wave.

Thursday marks the fourth day in a row that the National Institute for Meteorology and Hydrology at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences has declared code orange for all of Bulgaria's regions over dangerous heat.

Code orange means intense weather phenomena that can cause potential damage, injuries and casualties.

People are advised not to venture outside, especially around noon and during the afternoon. Plenty of water is to be drunk.

Jet stream changes may give Britain 'a real summer :Sunny:Following three months of miserable weather blamed on a stuck jet stream pattern which has brought record breaking rainfall across the British Isles, things are about to change.

Continue reading the main story

The jet stream is likely to change course soon, ending the UK's spell of miserable weather, forecasters say.

The UK is expected to get drier and warmer next week but only after more rain hits an already record summer.

This year has seen the wettest April, the wettest June and the wettest April-to-June period on record.

The cause has been the unusually southerly location of the jet stream, a high-altitude belt of wind;
but it is expected to move northwards soon.

This should bring more normal summer weather - probably in time for the Olympics.

"
Around the middle of next week, pressure will build - the Azores high,"
said BBC weather presenter Cecilia Daly.

"
This would allow our weather to take on more normal summer characteristics."


The jet stream normally sits to the north of the UK in summer, directing areas of low pressure and bad weather further north.
The jet stream has been further south than usual this summer, bringing wet and cold weather to much of the country
But changeable weather can be expected until that point, especially in north-western parts of the UK.

The anticipated change would put an end to an intense period that has seen serious flooding in most parts of the UK, with several areas experiencing an entire month's rain in a single day.

At one point earlier this month, the Environment Agency issued flood warnings in 171 locations simultaneously.

The trend has continued in early July, with England and Wales both experiencing above average rainfall.

Cooler than the continent

There are four jet streams circling the globe, two each in the northern and southern hemispheres.

While the UK has been drenched, large swathes of the US have been unseasonably hot
They flow at an altitude of about 7-10km (4.5-6 miles) from west to east.

Aircraft flying from North America to Europe typically take advantage of the northern hemisphere polar jet to speed their journeys.

The jet stream's path is far from uniform and its location can vary.

In summer it usually sits to the north of the UK, making British weather a slightly cooler version of what continental Europe is experiencing.

But for much of 2012, it sat much further south. The high-velocity wind effectively sucked moisture from the Atlantic Ocean and kept the UK cool and wet.

Effects have been very different on the other side of the Atlantic. More than half of the US is in drought and disasters have officially been declared in 1,000 counties spanning 26 states.

As the jet stream moves northwards, as it is expected to do, the UK's weather should return to a more conventional pattern.

[size=200:eribibvd]That means warmer and drier conditions for most of the country, but more rain in the north of Scotland

At last :Clap:Lets hope it's not more lies from these overpaid weather presenters.
