Sitting on the Thracian Plain in south-central Bulgaria, Stara Zagora has a moderate continental climate with warm, mostly dry summers and cooler, wetter winters, when most of the yearly rainfall arrives via Mediterranean and Atlantic frontal systems crossing the Balkans. The flat plain around the city drains fairly evenly, though intense spring thunderstorms can still cause localized street flooding. Bulgaria National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology, NIMH, covers the region from its national radar network.
