February so far has been akin to a cooler April, with an average temperature of 8.1 degrees Celsius in Hungary, HungaroMet said on Facebook on Thursday.
This reading was 7.6 C above the equivalent average for the 1991-2020 period and almost 3 C milder than the previous record in 2016.
Also, the first two weeks of February saw temperatures 2.3 C higher than the March average seen in the 1991-2020 period.
