The Sultans Trail from Sofia to Istanbul generally experiences mild temperatures and varied weather conditions. Starting in Sofia and moving through Bulgaria, the weather is characterized by a mix of sunny and partly cloudy days with occasional rain. Temperatures in this region typically range from an average high of around 20°C to an average low of 6°C. Precipitation is generally moderate, with chances of rain increasing as you travel toward southern Bulgaria.

As you continue southward and cross into Turkey, particularly from Edirne to Istanbul, the climate begins to display slightly warmer temperatures due to the proximity to the coast. Highs in this area average around 17°C, while lows hover closer to 12°C. The chance of rainfall remains present, with patchy rain possible alongside partly cloudy and overcast conditions. As you approach Istanbul, the weather includes an increased incidence of cloudy and rainy days, reflecting the city's temperate climate.

This overview is for an early October start, walking the standard stages.
But, I'll be happy to make one specifically for this forecast.
