PHOTOS: Hungary covered by snow, 20 cm will fall in this region tomorrow

Heavy snowfall visited Hungary’s Northern and Northeastern regions earlier this week. Yesterday, Budapest and the central parts of the country were covered in a 1-5 cm thick snow layer. Tomorrow, a third Hungarian region will be covered by snow. In some places, the thickness of the new layer might even reach 20 centimetres.

According to Szeretlek Magyarország, the snowfall may reach 10-20 centimetres tomorrow in the Western regions of Hungary. Based on the snow map of Időkép, locals should prepare for freezing rain in the North.

Rains will rule Saturday in huge territories. We should expect snow in the Western, Northwestern and Northern regions. But the precipitation can easily change to rain in these regions.

In the neighbourhood of Sopron and Kőszeg, close to the Austrian-Hungarian border, 10-20 centimetres of snow may fall. North of Lake Balaton, that layer can reach 2-5 centimetres. Here are four photos of wintery Budapest, the first one was made of the Buda Castle covered in white:
