Baby Jesus may bring a new temperature record in Hungary, the Hungarian Meteorological Service (OMSZ) wrote in a Facebook post. Below you may read the details.

OMSZ said that today, a cold front arrived in Hungary. And the strengthening Northwestern winds will mix the air, so the temperature may start to increase significantly.

The national temperature record for Christmas was in Békéscsaba, Southeast Hungary, in 1958 (17.7 °C). However, the Budapest record may be in danger. That was measured in 1958, too, but the thermometers showed “only” 12.5 °C then. Today not only in the neighbourhood of Budapest, but also in other parts of the country can be temperatures above 10 °C. Below you may check out the temperature map of the OMSZ:
