Panagyurishte Climate
The territory around Panagyurishte belongs to the transitional continental climatic area. The average January air temperature is minus 1.1??, the average July temperature is 20.6??, and the average annual temperature is 10.1??. The character of the relief and the considerable differences in the altitude above sea level predetermine the variety in the microclimate and the landscapes and its mountain character in the northern part of the municipality. The favourable combination of the altitude above sea level (1050 m – the level of prevalent low cloud) and the southern exposure of the climatic resort Panagyurski Kolonii contributes to the ionization of the air from 1 200 to 1500 ions per sm3 (light positive and negative ions), which has a curative effect.
The percentage of calm weather cases in the Panagyurishte Hollow is unsubstantial (67.5%), temperature inversions often occur (11-15 cases monthly) and the precipitation is insufficient. The average annual precipitation is 653 mm and decreases from 750 mm in the mountain part of the municipality to 550 mm in its most southern parts, which are cultivated. The annual precipitation sums are lower than the corresponding many-year norms in 53% of the cases. This tendency has been especially pronounced since 1985, and is also accompanied by increased values of the average annual temperature. This leads to an expressive aridization of the climate in the region, which alters the conditions for vegetation of the cultivated and the natural vegetation, and also for the formation of the surface drainage of the waters.
The region is strongly exposed to hails (with a probability for more than one hailstorm per year in the period May-August) and with averagely 28 intensive rainfalls (over 30 l/s/ha) per year.
