-20 Celsius degrees to come – season records to be broken, PHOTOS

The Hungarian Meteorological Service said that there would be as cold in Hungary in the next few days as never before. Therefore, they expect record-breaking regarding the minimum temperature. Though the weather was spring-like between Christmas and New Year’s Eve, it seems that January will be cold in Hungary. We already experienced that change last week when the temperature fell below -10 Celsius degrees. However, meteorologists say that this week will be much colder.

-20 Celsius degrees to come

According to napi.hu, on Tuesday, the lows were between -5 and -12 °C. However, in regions protected from winds and frost pockets, the temperature could go even below -15 °C.

On Wednesday, meteorologists expect a slightly cloudy sky and a dry, sunny day. In the evening, clouds may appear in the northern and northeastern regions of the country. Snowdrifts should be expected East of the River Tisza (Tiszántúl), and strong winds will rule the day. Winds are to decline by evening. The highs will come between -3 and +3 °C in the daytime. In the Tiszántúl, especially in regions covered by snow, the mercury might go even lower.
