Spring is not here yet, cold weather is coming to Hungary – weather forecast

Although the warm sunny days so far promised the arrival of spring, cold weather will reach Hungary on Sunday. This weather not only affects our mood, but it can also put a strain on our bodies.

The weather will be sunny until Sunday

For now, the temperature is still rising and we can enjoy the last rays of sunshine on Saturday. Therefore, it is recommended to spend time outside while the weather is still warm and sunny. Throughout the country, the temperature will be around 10 degrees Celsius. In some places, the temperature can even be above 15 degrees Celsius. On Sunday, however, cold weather arrives to Hungary.

This is how the weather affects our mental and physical health

“As for the mental state, it is also affected by the current weather. We are more inattentive, it is more difficult for us to complete our work for the day. It is no coincidence that there are more accidents at this time,” meteorologist Ferenc Pintér, director of the Meteo Clinic, told Ripost. “Cooling down and persistently cold weather affect the state of the circulatory system. In this case, our peripheral blood vessels narrow, resulting in higher blood pressure. It is important to wear a hat, scarf and gloves in persistently cold and windy weather. These help maintain proper circulation”, he said.

The meteorologist also highlighted the importance of skin moisturising and nourishing creams. They are important because our facial skin is most exposed to winter dryness and deteriorating nutrient supply. “Due to the cold, our mucous membranes dry out, especially in our nose. As a result of increased dehydration, the risk of developing infections increases because the defense ability of our mucous membranes weakens”, he explained.
