In north-eastern regions, including the Black Sea coast, winds will temporarily strengthen again after midday. These areas will see more frequent sunshine tomorrow, with afternoon temperatures between 23°C and 26°C. Sea temperatures are around 23–24°C, with moderate waves reaching approximately 3 on the Beaufort scale.

In the mountains, conditions will be mostly sunny, with occasional cloud increases but no precipitation. It will also be windy, with moderate to strong north-west winds.
