Heatwave in Hungary peaking today
HungaroMet, the state-owned successor of the Hungarian Meteorological Service, Sunday saw another record broken since thermometres in Körösszakál showed 41 degrees Celsius. That means a 116-year-old record was broken in Hungary. The previous peak was in Eger in 1908, with 39 degrees. From Sunday to Monday, in Szeged, the temperature decreased only to 27 °C, which made a good night’s sleep almost impossible without air conditioning in the Hungarian City of Light.
Today’s question is whether another record will be broken like yesterday, also in Körösszakál with 39.5 degrees. Here is a chart of the Monday peaks, but today will be even hotter:
According to HungaroMet, today, maximums will be between 35 and 41 degrees, but in some places, the temperature may rise even above 41 °C. Therefore, today’s temperature may break even the absolute national heat record, measured in 2007 in Kiskunhalas (41.9 °C).
Highest-level warning in Hungary
Showers may take place in the Northeastern regions of Hungary, bringing the weather down a bit. We can expect hail and storms in every part of the country due to the extreme heatwave in Hungary. HungaroMet recommends everybody consume enough water and endure the extreme heat in climatised places. The UV radiation will be extreme today.
Authorities issued the highest-level, red warning in ten counties. People should be cautious in Pest, Baranya, Bács-Kiskun, Békés, Csongrád-Csanád, Fejér, Hajdú-Bihar, Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg, Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok and Tolna counties. The daily average will not decrease below 29 degrees in those places, index.hu wrote.
Things are so bad in Third World Hungary that there is not even proper air conditioning in hospitals. Surgeries are being cancelled because it’s not even working in some operating rooms. You can’t operate with sweat dripping off you falling into the open wound of the patient. Staff are being forced to wear plastic uniforms that don’t breathe and they are working for hours in suffocating temperatures. This is what Fidesz has done to Hungary. Just leave, leave, leave the country if you can.
No Larry, we must not leave, but fight to get our country back!
