Warning: Intense heatwave to hit Hungary, followed by sudden temperature drop
Change language:
A new heatwave is expected to sweep across most of Hungary until next Friday, with temperatures reaching up to 37°C in the southern counties, according to HungaroMet Plc.’s latest forecast. Following this, a significant cold front is predicted to arrive next weekend, bringing widespread showers and thunderstorms and causing a notable drop in temperatures.
The forecast indicates that the Carpathian Basin will largely avoid major cyclones and their fronts, allowing temperatures to soar, with little to no rainfall expected. However, isolated showers and thunderstorms may occur in the western regions on Tuesday and Wednesday, Pénzcentrum writes, based on HungaroMet’s weather forecast.
The extreme heat will persist throughout the week, particularly in southern Hungary, where nighttime temperatures will also remain unseasonably warm. The northern and western regions will experience slightly lower, but still high, temperatures.
