Many have been missing the white scenery at Christmas. It might be two weeks late, but snow finally arrived this Friday. The Transdanubian region, Zalaegerszeg, and the mountain ranges all experienced the first serious snowfall of the season this week.
So far this winter, snow could be expected only in the North Hungarian Mountains and maybe Alpokalja. Now, a considerable amount has fallen due to a sudden precipitation zone forming above Transdanubia.
Sudden snowfall
A Mediterranean cyclone has reached Hungary. Its precipitation zone extended above Transdanubia. Experts at the Hungarian Meteorological Service say that the sudden snow is not actually caused by the front on the South but by a confluence zone formed above the country, which is much smaller compared to the front. This has been marked as a convergence zone on the map. In Central Transdanubia, the winds blowing from the South-East, North-East, and from the North collide with one another, resulting in the rise of air and thus precipitation.
