Hungary is going to face a tremendous heatwave in the coming days. However, in the eastern counties, clouds will be heavier in some places, with a few showers and thunderstorms possible. Winds will remain moderate, with strong gusty winds only around thunderstorms. Read more on the Hungarian summer weather below.
Hungary in rain and heat
The abundant sunshine in Hungary will be interrupted by a few clouds, according to the National Meteorological Service. On Sunday, daily average temperatures may exceed 25 degrees Celsius in most parts of the country. Temperatures may go up to 27 degrees Celsius in the south-eastern parts of the Great Plain. During the day, there may be a chance of showers in the south-eastern and eastern border areas.
Due to the risk of heat, a second-degree warning has been issued for Békés and Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok counties, and a first-degree warning for Budapest, Pest, Baranya, Bács-Kiskun, Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén, Csongrád-Csanád, Fejér, Győr-Moson-Sopron, Hajdú-Bihar, Heves, Komárom-Esztergom, Nógrád, Somogy, Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg, Tolna and Veszprém counties.
On Sunday, lows will be between 15 and 20 degrees Celsius, but in cold-prone areas, it could be 13 to 14 degrees Celsius. Highs are expected between 31 and 36 degrees Celsius.
The heat will continue to increase in the coming days. Next week, highs of up to 38 degrees Celsius will be recorded, with temperatures in several areas reaching above 20 degrees Celsius in the coldest hours. For this reason, the Chief Medical Officer, Cecília Müller, is issuing a third-degree heat alert from midnight on Monday (00:01) until midnight on Thursday.
From Monday at midnight (00:01) until Thursday at midnight, the Hungarian Chief Medical Officer has issued the highest heat alert, a third degree. This is the highest level of heat alert that can be issued by the National Health Service, writes Időkép.
A third level heat alert is issued when the daily mean temperature exceeds 27 degrees Celsius for at least 3 consecutive days.
Next week will see a longer period of hot weather. Temperatures will be rising above 35 degrees Celsius in several places. Furthermore, it is time to get ready for warm tropical nights. Increasingly fewer and fewer places remain where temperatures may fall below 20 degrees Celsius at night.
Because of the high temperatures, a third-level heat warning will be in force from Monday midnight until Thursday at midnight.
Three non-mesocyclonic tornadoes were recorded in one day, Blikk reports.
There was no shortage of showers and thunderstorms across the country yesterday afternoon, and Időkép observers caught several tubas and dust devils, with a non-mesocyclonic tornado presumably touching down near Alsónémedi.
Near Kunmadaras, András Kálmán probably also captured a tornado of non-mesocyclonic origin:
April this year was 2 C. cooler than normal, the national meteorological centre said on Facebook on Monday.
Last April was also especially cool, and this year was hardly any warmer. Temperatures in Hungary averaged 9.4 C, which is 2 C. below the 1991-2020 average, the centre said.
The last time consecutive Aprils were below 10 C was in 1981-82.
Morning frosts were typical and there was even snow in several areas in central Hungary, while April was somewhat wetter than usual.
Showers and thunderstorms are likely in the first week of May, though it will be warmer, with temperatures in some areas above 25 C, the meteorological centre said.
According to the weather forecast, this will be the first real spring weekend, with sunshine and a daytime temperature ranging between 17–23 degrees Celsius. Furthermore, May 1, this Sunday, is a holiday in Hungary, with many concerts, local festivities, family and children days in every city and village in the country.
Friday
We can enjoy the sunshine on Friday, disturbed only rarely by clouds. Showers might occur only in the eastern parts of the country in the afternoon. Meanwhile, there will be considerable northern and northeastern wind. In the afternoon, the temperature will increase to 17–21 °C, idokep.hu reported.
Saturday
Saturday will remain sunny. We will see clouds only seldom in Hungary. Moreover, there will be no precipitation. Winds might get stronger temporarily only in some parts of the country. At sunrise, the temperature will be moderate, between 1 and 7 degrees Celsius. However, it will increase significantly during the day. In the colder valleys, temperatures might drop even below zero. In the afternoon, thermometers will show 18–22 °C. As a result, the weather will be perfect for a trip or a walk in the city.
There will be rain in the southern parts of the country. In other places, most of the day will be sunny. Eastern winds will be considerable, but the temperature will rise to 19–23 °C. Therefore, you will be able to enjoy the concerts, festivals, family days, etc., organized for May 1 everywhere in the country.
Monday
Raining will be more frequent in Hungary, but the temperature will rise to 18–23 degrees Celsius. It seems that this weather will remain on Tuesday as well: a lot of sunshine, temperatures around 20 °C, and sometimes a refreshing shower.
We can declare that spring has officially arrived in Hungary!
Today, the temperature may rise to 24 degrees Celsius in Hungary. However, autumn will return on Friday, the weather forecasts show.
Did you plan a trip somewhere during the long weekend in Hungary? You may go today because the weather will not be too nice from Friday on, 24.hu reported.
However, today, we can expect a lot of sunshine without significant clouds. There will be no precipitation. MTI says that there will be south-easterly winds. Temperatures are expected to be between -2 and +6 °C at least and around 19 and 24 °C maximum.
According to idokep.hu, a cold front will arrive on Good Friday, along with some rain. Most of the day will be sunny, but the wind will get stronger. The highest temperatures will be around 18 and 25 degrees Celsius, and it will be warmer in the South, near Pécs and Szeged.
On Holy Saturday, the sun will still appear, but showers will be frequent east of the Danube. The northern wind will be stronger. In the northeast, storms may come. The temperature is going to fall between 11 and 18 °C.
On Easter, sunny and rainy periods will alternate, particularly east of the Danube, but stark winds remain everywhere. The lowest temperatures will be between -3 and +5, while the highest temperatures will only be around 9-14 °C.
Even though it is already April, the weather is expected to become wintry again.
As we can read in HelloVidék’s article, according to the forecast of OMSZ (Országos Meteorológiai Szolgálat, National Meteorological Service) from Saturday evening, the rain may turn into sleet and snow.
Significant snowfall is expected mainly in Western Transdanubia (Nyugat-Dunántúl) and North-Eastern Hungary, therefore
the Hungarian Public Roads Engineering Services will again deploy snow clearing and de-slippering machines in the affected areas.

In the higher altitude areas affected by snowfall (Alpokalja, Mecsek, Börzsöny, Mátra, Bükk), the fresh snow layer may reach up to 5 cm. In the northern part of the Transdanubian Mountains, up to 10 cm of fresh snow may fall.
On Sunday morning, however, precipitation will stop. At the same time, the northwest winds will strengthen.
Temperatures are expected to be subzero in most of the country by Monday morning.

Climate protesters in Budapest joined others in over 700 cities across the world on Friday to take part in the seventh Global Climate Strike, youth movement Fridays for Future Hungary said in a statement.
The Fridays for Future movement was launched over three years ago, rallying thousands of young people to stand up for their future, the statement said.
The Budapest protest was attended by a thousand people, with Fridays for Future putting forward its 12 climate-related demands. These include a call for the establishment of a separate ministry in charge of environmental protection, a 65 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030,
the cancellation of the upgrade of Hungary’s Paks nuclear plant,
a ban on tourism projects in national parks and “Natura 2000” protected areas and a ban on diesel cars by 2026, among others.
Fridays for Future Hungary emphasised the importance of the role of education in addressing the ecological crisis, expressing its support for the ongoing teachers’ strike.
The interior ministry has issued a drought alert for the whole country starting on Monday.
According to the ministry, a lack of rain in recent weeks has now reduced humidity in the upper layers of the soil below 40 percent.
Soils have not been able to replenish due to lack of winter precipitation, and are drying out due to increasing rainfall deficits.
Significant, nationwide precipitation is still not expected, with mostly sunny, dry and warm weather forecast, increasing water scarcity and posing a serious problem for the development of the autumn crops.
Under the alert, farmers have been allowed to use surface waters for irrigation without applying for a permit and paying a fee.
Govt to spend HUF 200 bn on water system rehabilitation in S Hungary
The government will plough 200 billion forints (EUR 532.1m) into rehabilitating the water system of an arid region in southern Hungary, in the next eight years, István Láng, the head of the General Directorate of Water Management said in a talk with President János Áder.
In his Blue Planet (Kék bolygó) podcast broadcast on Monday, Áder said the development is expected to help the region retain its residents and revive wildlife, by creating marshes and lakes. Water quality will improve, as will revenues from agriculture, he said.
He noted that the UN has declared the region between the Danube and Tisza rivers a semi-desert. Dwindling water reserves are due to climate change and to forestation aimed to tie down the sand providing the soil of the region, as well as to human water usage, he said.
Láng said water supplies would be replenished from the Danube and Tisza, purifyied waste water and from ground waters.
Áder said the development, scheduled until 2030, is expected to show the first results within 4-5 years.

Hungary experiences turbulent weather these days. Experts say that it is because of climate change. According to the weather forecast of index.hu, on Thursday afternoon, there were clouds in many parts of the country. Above the eastern, northeastern counties, the layers of cloud will be thicker, but there will be no precipitation.
The temperature will be around 4-9 degrees Celsius. Moreover, we will not experience strong winds anywhere in Hungary. In Eastern Hungary, the clouds will disappear by Friday morning.
On Friday, cloudy and sunny periods will alternate in most parts of Hungary, MTI writes. We should expect southwestern winds. The lowest temperatures will be between -3 and +3 °C, while the highest temperatures will reach between 6 and 13 °C. In the east, there will be fewer sunny hours. By Friday noon, one should expect snow there, too.
However, according to idokep.hu, a new cold front will hit Hungary on Saturday. As a result, the wind will be stormy, but it will not bring any precipitation.
Therefore, if you have planned a trip anywhere, or just a walk in nature, you should time it for tomorrow.
The stormy weather over the weekend caused extreme damages, significant transportation delays and many service disruptions across the country. The photos of the damage speak for themselves.
The hurricane-force winds over the weekend left extreme damage in Hungary. At Lake Balaton, the strongest wind (119.5 km/h) was measured in Siófok thatcrushed the ice on the Hungarian sea.

Moreover, the windy weather left behind broken branches and fallen trees all across the country.
Many trees fell on roads, houses, fences, cars and power lines, and the wind also damaged the roofs of buildings.
As the Hungarian news portal Helló Magyar reports, most of the emergency calls came from Budapest and Pest county, but many alarms were also received from Bács-Kiskun and Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok counties.

The damages caused significant delays in public transport.
Train cancellations on several routes, 1-2 hour delays and replacement bus services were experienced by passengers travelling by train on Sunday evening. Train speed was limited on several lines in order to prevent power line breaks and power cuts.
The hurricane-force winds caused power cuts in several places across the country, leaving thousands of users without access to mobile and fixed telephone, internet and cable TV services. The damages affected most parts of Kecskemét, Albertirsa, Tatabánya and Oroszlány.
According to the National Directorate General for Disaster Management (OKF), firefighters were called out to 1,654 incidents on Sunday due to windy weather. A significant number of the alarms were due to
building and chimney damages, hanging tiles, tin sheets, advertising signs, and in some places traffic lights blown down by the wind.

In addition, eight family houses have become temporarily uninhabitable due to damage caused by strong winds on Sunday. The 34 people concerned were taken in by their relatives.
Although winds eased in many places on Monday, it is advised to remain cautious. Strong wind can still be expected in the areas of Fertőszentmiklós, Csorna, Győr, Bakony, the northern and eastern parts of Pest county, the eastern part of Fejér county, near Szántód and Paks, Mátra, and the regions of Balassagyarmat, Heves, Szolnok and Gyomaendrőd.
Broken branches or fallen trees can be expected on mountain roads and side roads in the upcoming days. The OKF recommends assessing the damage around residential properties and reporting damaged power lines, utilities and dangerously fallen trees to emergency number 112.
According to the latest forecasts, seriously cold weather is to arrive in the following nights.
As low as -15 can be expected
The coldest temperature can be expected on Tuesday morning, writes napi.hu. It can be colder than -15 degrees Celsius in snowy landscapes, such as the whole of Western Hungary and along the eastern, northeastern border.
Due to the great cold, there is a good chance that the larger lakes may freeze, so a continuous layer of ice may cover Lake Balaton as well.
Balaton completely frozen
The last time Lake Balaton froze completely was in January 2017. The days were so cold that it was possible to skate from the southern shore to the northern shore, which is about a 5-kilometre distance. Hundreds of people did so, here is a video about it:
It may snow in the morning near the western border on Monday, says szeretlekmagyarorszag.hu. Elsewhere, dry, sunny weather is expected. By dawn, the air usually cools down to between -10 and -5 degrees Celsius, but in clear, snow-covered landscapes, it can be as low as -17 degrees Celsius. They can measure temperatures between -1 and +1 degrees during the day.
On Tuesday, in the southern counties, the sun is expected to shine for several more hours, and then the clouds will increase as well. The lowest temperatures are generally expected to be between -12 and -3 degrees Celsius, but it may be colder than -15 degrees in less cloudy, windless, snow-covered areas. Peak temperatures will range from -5 to +4.
On Wednesday, there may be snowstorms in some places in the northeast and in the east. The minimum temperature is expected to be between -5 and +1 degrees Celsius, but it will be colder in less cloudy, windless, snowy landscapes. The peaks will usually be between 1 and 6 degrees Celsius.
On Thursday, temperatures are generally expected to be between -6 and +1 degrees Celsius at dawn. Peak temperatures are expected to be between 0 and 7 degrees Celsius.
On Friday, temperatures will be between -5 and +2 in the morning and 2 and 7 in the afternoon.

It is expected to rain in several places on Sunday, along with some snowfall, and sleet in the transitional parts. The wind will be strong in several places. The lowest temperatures are expected to be between -5 and +1, and the highest temperatures between -2 and +6 degrees Celsius.
The crazy winter of 1987
Hungary, with a few exceptions, is not really a place of really cold winters. In the last few years, winters have generally been milder, often only letting us see snow for the first time in January, and it was not really typical for the snow to last too long either. It is also true that the winters are becoming less predictable and more extreme. However, it was not always like that.
One of the most famous winters in modern history is the legendary winter of 1987 when temperatures were as low as almost minus twenty degrees in Budapest, and a lot of snow fell as well.
The city stood completely still at this time. However, a similar situation will not be expected this time.
In the following picture, you can see how it looked that crazy winter in Budapest right at the Mester utca-Ferenc körút corner:
True winter weather is finally back, snowy days and minus degrees are expected in most parts of the country.
Snowfall to come
According to the forecast of the National Meteorological Service (OMSZ), snowfall can be expected mostly in Western Hungary and along the Danube on Saturday, but light snowfall can also reach other parts of the country, says naphire.hu.
Saturday afternoon, we can expect clouds in most parts of the country, along with several hours of sunshine, though. Meanwhile, more, thicker clouds may arrive over the northeastern, eastern counties, so it may snow again. The northwestern wind will be strengthened in many places and may cause real storms in some places.

Snowstorms may occur mainly in the higher parts of Western Hungary and along the north-eastern border. The highest daytime temperatures are expected to be between -1 and +5 degrees Celsius. By late evening, the air will cool down to between -1 and -8 degrees Celsius.
The OMSZ predicts that the sky will also get cloudy on Sunday. In some places, the air may become humid, and mist may form in certain places. In the cloudy parts, snowfall and light snow should be expected.
The meteorological service issued warnings in seven counties due to lighter snowstorms.
On Monday, it may snow again in Western Hungary, but in the second half of the day, as in other parts of the country, sunny, dry weather is expected. The temperature can range from -4 to +1 degrees Celsius, writes blikkruzs.hu.
The clouds will increase on Tuesday, with snow in some places, and light rain in the northwest. At dawn, the temperature can drop below -10 degrees Celsius, and during the day, it could be around -7, -3 degrees Celsius in the northeast.
