Weather: Goodbye frost, welcome sleet
Change language:
It seems like the gloomy period has not come to an end; the Hungarian Meteorological Service (OMSZ) issued the first-degree alert for most of the country due to the high probability of sleety weather conditions. We have to wait a bit more for spring to arrive…
The police definitely had a busy weekend: they were alerted several times due to accidents caused by the crazy weather. And it seems like we have to face a new challenge in these upcoming days: sleet.
According to index.hu, OMSZ’s warning concerns Budapest and the following counties: Pest, Baranya, Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén, Fejér, Győr-Moson-Sopron, Heves, Komárom-Esztergom, Nógrád, Somogy, Tolna, Vas, Veszprém and Zala.
After Tuesday dawn, we can expect rain, sleet and ice storms in waves. Precipitation will move from the southwest to the northeast in the morning and will probably affect the whole country. The northwest and upland regions will be characterised by sleet storms which might start out as regular snow. Then, by the afternoon, the most extensive precipitation zone will move in a northeast direction.
