On Wednesday and Thursday, the volatile weather will continue, with showers and rainfall in several places. Some areas might experience thunder, according to the weather forecast of Időkép.

In the west, temperatures will remain below 20 degrees Celsius, while elsewhere between 21 and 27 degrees will be typical. In the east and southeast, higher temperatures are possible.

North-northwest winds may be accompanied by strong gusts in many places, especially in the Transdanubian region.

Summer for the weekend, heatwave for next week

From Friday, no more significant precipitation is expected, and there will be more sunshine.

From Saturday, the flow will turn south over us, bringing warmer air.

Thus, on Sunday we could see temperatures towards 30 Celsius degrees in several places.

The warming will continue next week with the first major heatwave of the summer. That means highs could reach 35 degrees for the first time this year.
