Aurora borealis in Hungary: breathtaking videos and pictures were taken

On Sunday evening, the aurora graced the skies of Hungary again. This marked the 10th occurrence of this dazzling celestial phenomenon in the country this year, with the latest occurrence being the most spectacular and powerful, according to Időkép.

Last night saw clear skies with only a scattering of clouds, so the extraordinary spectacle was visible to the naked eye across much of the country. The Időkép cameras recorded the beginning of the light show around 5.30 pm, but its true splendour unfolded after dark. The latest appearance of the aurora in Hungary was unique in the sense that this time it could be observed in the southern regions, including Pécs.

Perhaps the most breathtaking views were witnessed at Lake Balaton, where the magnificent pink display was reflected on the lake’s surface.

The aurora was visible in our country due to heightened geomagnetic activity on Earth, registering a significant 7 on the KP index, which ranges from 0 to 9.
