Snow and winter frost returns to Hungary from today!
The mild, spring-like weather has been here for several days, making us feel like Christmas happened in spring. However, Sunday is shaping up to be a big change: the back of the Mediterranean cyclone that will dominate the weekend weather starts to bring in cold Arctic air from the north-northeast.
According to Időkép, as a result, it will be freezing in most parts of the country all day on Monday.
The arrival of the freezing air mass could bring several dangerous weather phenomena. North-northeast winds will become gusty in the west and northeast, with gusts of up to 70-80 km/h.
In the West, snowfall will be followed by sleet and snowfall from Sunday morning. With the exception of the Alpokalja region, during the day, snowfall may occur in the Transdanubian region. Temperatures could drop by 8-10 degrees Celsius in a few hours.
As we bid farewell to spring in January, next week, the weather will be in line with the calendar, Időkép writes.
