Next week will mark the arrival of spring in Hungary

Based on the latest weather forecast, temperature may rise to 16 degrees next week. The weather will be sunny. Thus, we can state that spring will arrive after this year’s short and warm winter.

As we wrote today, heat records broke on Saturday in Budapest and Hungary since thermometers recorded almost 20 °C in Sopron, West Hungary. However, it seems the trend will remain next week even though it is still February which is a winter month in this latitude of the northern hemisphere.

According to the Hungarian Meteorological Service, next week will be windy, sometimes gusty, with showers in some parts of the country. But the weather will remain mild with no frosts and daily maximums above 15 °C, index.hu wrote.
