Winter returned to Hungary, get ready for snow! – PHOTOS
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.
Monday
In the southern counties, there may be more clouds in the morning, followed by sunshine. Significant precipitation is unlikely. Winds from the west and southwest will increase in several places.
By dawn, temperatures will generally be between -5 and +1 degrees Celsius, with frosty areas possibly colder, and in the afternoon between 7 and 13 degrees Celsius.
Tuesday
The sun may shine for several hours in the southern counties, while elsewhere it will be more cloudy. Light rain is possible in the northern counties. Winds from the west and southwest will increase in several places. Temperatures will be -3 to +4 degrees Celsius at dawn, rising to 10 to 17 degrees Celsius by afternoon.
Wednesday
The sun will shine for several hours amid clouds.
Significant precipitation is unlikely, but light rain or showers are possible in places. Minimum temperatures will be between 1 and 7 degrees, maximum between 14 and 20 degrees.
Thursday
Variable cloudiness is likely in the northern counties with less sunshine in the north and more in the south. Scattered showers are possible. In several places, strong winds can be expected, sometimes from the southwest, then from the northwest. The minimum temperature will be between 1 and 8 degrees Celsius and the maximum between 15 and 20 degrees Celsius.

Always worry about blossoms freezing, especially on fruit trees. My poultry were certainly not happy to see new snow in our yard today after days of T-shirt weather. Late winter can be such a tease!
