Red warning issued in Hungary due to extreme heat! – Weather forecast
Change language:
This week, an extreme heatwave can be expected in Hungary with peak values close to 40°C degrees in several places. Accordingly, a red warning has been issued in most parts of Hungary until Thursday morning.
The red warning came into effect on Monday morning because the National Meteorological Service forecasts that the average daily temperature will exceed 27°C in most parts of Hungary in the upcoming days. However, a slight cooling is expected over the weekend. Besides extreme temperatures, minor thunderstorms can also be expected in some parts of the country.
On Monday, we can enjoy plenty of sunshine with no precipitation, except for the north-eastern part of the country, where there is a slight chance of local showers and thunderstorms. In addition to the waterfront and downtown areas, extreme temperatures are expected in the Northern Transdanubian region. As Szeretlek Magyarország reports, during the day, the air heats up to 33-37°C.
The sunny weather will stay with us on Tuesday and Wednesday as well. Showers, thunderstorms and stormy wind may occur near the north-eastern border on Tuesday and the north-eastern, western borders on Wednesday. The minimum temperature will be between 16 and 23°C, with peak values of 32-38°C expected on both days. In the middle of the week, the heatwave continues to intensify.
On Monday morning, a red warning was issued for several parts of the country due to the extreme heat, as well as a yellow alarm for half the country due to thunderstorms.
