Spring to visit Hungary this week

The weather will be very different in the coming days compared to the first half of the week.

The Hungarian Meteorological Services (HungaroMet) said a cyclone will take snow to France and spring to Hungary this week. The ‘Irene’ will arrive on Wednesday, bringing strong winds, lots of precipitation and snow.

However, thanks to the cyclone, Hungary will get a subtropical warm front. As a result, spring will rule Hungary on Thursday. Furthermore, based on some forecasts, even heat records may break that day. The 1918 heat record of Kaposvár, for example, was 17 degrees on 18 January.
