Spring warmth to continue in Hungary next week – but wind, chilly mornings and scattered showers expected

Hungary is set to enjoy another week of largely sunny, spring-like weather, although the coming days may also bring gusty winds, chilly mornings and the occasional shower, according to forecasts from HungaroMet.

After an unusually warm start to March, the country will remain under the influence of a large high-pressure system covering much of central and southern Europe. This pattern typically brings calm, sunny conditions, and it will continue to dominate Hungary’s weather in the coming days.

Temperatures far above seasonal average

The past weekend already highlighted how unusual the current weather pattern is. On Saturday, daytime temperatures across Hungary were around 7–8°C higher than the seasonal average.

The warmest temperature of the year so far was recorded in Szécsény, where thermometers climbed to 19.2°C. In Budapest’s Újpest district, 18.8°C was measured, while the nationwide average maximum temperature was close to 17°C.

Despite these mild afternoons, meteorologists note that nights remain noticeably colder, with frost still possible in some locations.

Windy start to the week

Monday will begin mostly clear across the country, with plenty of sunshine and only thin clouds. No precipitation is expected, but a strengthening south-easterly wind may make conditions feel slightly cooler.

Stronger gusts are possible in areas such as the Bakony Mountains and in southern parts of the country. Daytime highs are expected to reach between 13°C and 17°C.
