Climate change: Additional heat records broken in Hungary
Several heat records were broken in Hungary on Saturday, the national weather service HungaroMet said on its website.
A daytime high of 27.6 degrees Celsius was measured in Derékegyház, in south-east Hungary. The last record (27.5C) was registered in Orosháza, in the same area, in 1906.
In the capital’s 4th district, a maximum of 26.4 C was measured, breaking the record daily high of 25.6 C measured at the Országút (Country Road) weather station in 1939.

So, temperatures of this magnitude DID happen before, just in the past 100-odd years, never mind over the millennia that we didn’t have thermometers nor measured temperature with any degree of consistency, uniformity, or accuracy. Hardly a “climate change.”
