Freezing weather disrupts life in Hungary, some schools even go online
Severe winter weather is set to disrupt daily life in western Hungary, as authorities warn of prolonged freezing rain and hazardous conditions across Zala County. In response to the expected extreme weather, courts will operate on a limited basis, while several educational institutions are switching to online teaching.
The government said the snow won’t interrupt road safety or railways in Hungary
According to the Zala County Disaster Management Directorate, Hungary’s meteorological service HungaroMet has issued a second-level weather alert for Friday due to the likelihood of freezing rain lasting several hours. Officials are urging residents to avoid unnecessary travel, particularly by car, in affected areas.
The Zala County Territorial Defence Committee released a statement on Thursday emphasising that organisations involved in snow clearance and accident prevention are fully prepared to respond to the situation. Authorities said continuous cooperation is in place to reduce risks caused by icy roads and poor weather conditions, writes Telex.
Neither of them turned out to be true
Residents have been advised to take extra precautions and to pay special attention to elderly people and those living alone, who may be particularly vulnerable during the cold spell.
As a direct consequence of the weather warning, the Zalaegerszeg Court announced that all courts in the county will operate only with a general on-call service on Friday and on Saturday, which is also a working day. All hearings scheduled for these days will be postponed and rescheduled for a later date.
When will this nightmare be over?
