White Christmas in Hungary: Snowfall Brightens the Holiday Season – photo gallery
Most Hungarians always wish we had a white Christmas, and now it seems we do! We have two photo galleries, one from Budapest, the other from Mecsek near Pécs:
MECSEK
Snowfall on Christmas Eve
Especially in the mountainous areas, including Mecsek and its surroundings, the landscape may be snowy on Christmas Eve, where a thick snow cover may form in the period ahead, and snow flurries may also develop temporarily.
In flat areas, however, the snow cover will melt, Mosthir says.
What will the weather be like at Christmas?
On the first day of Christmas, Wednesday, 25 December, the clouds will break, and the sun will shine. Light rain, sleet, and snow showers may occur in the southwest at dawn. Winds will be strong in the north-northeast in several places and gusty in the west. The temperature will be between 2 and 7 degrees Celsius in the early afternoon, according to the weather forecast.
What’s next? On Thursday, after sunny weather, clouds will increase from the north and northeast, and from the afternoon, there may be sporadic rain, sleet, and snowfall in the mountains. Winds will remain strong in the NE, with highs around +5 degrees.
