Weather in Sofia
Sofia has a humid continental climate with wet summers and cold winters. The most pleasant months to visit Sofia are May, June and September, warm enough to enjoy the parks and outdoor cafés but without the crowds.
Spring (March to May) is warm but rainy, with temperatures rising from 6°C (43°F) in March to 15°C (59°F) in May. Time your visit with festivities such as Orthodox Easter, Liberation Day (3 March), and St George’s Day (6 May).
Nestled in the Sofia Valley at an altitude of 552m (1,812ft) and surrounded by mountains, the city usually enjoys pleasant summer months (June to August), except when heat waves strike, which can send temperatures to over 30°C (86°F). August can also be a month of high rainfall.
Autumn (September to November) is largely dry, before heading into chilly winter (December to February) with temperatures hover around freezing point and snow is common.
