Heavy rain expected this weekend in Hungary, festive events in danger?
Change language:
Heavy rains are expected over the weekend – even festive events could be washed away by the weather.
The drought will finally end with several days of rain – however, this might mean that the 20 August celebrations are in danger in several places. The heatwave will end everywhere by Sunday, with highs in the 30s degrees C in some places and near 20 degrees C in wet areas. On Saturday, there is a good chance of thunderstorms in the evening hours in Hungary, szeretlekmagyarorszag.hu reports.
The weekend is less favourable for festivities, but more favourable for easing the drought, according to Időkép. An undulating cold front will destabilise the atmosphere, while the earlier heat will provide enough energy for thunderstorms to develop. What is also good news is that summer is unlikely to bring any more heatwaves.
Friday, 19 August
On Friday, a cold front will increase cloudiness in the west, in the Transdanubian region and in the central parts of the country, and in the afternoon and evening hours, showers may develop in several places, with occasional severe thunderstorms. South-southeasterly winds will be strong in several places. High temperatures will be between 33 and 41 degrees, but after showers and thunderstorms, the air may cool down suddenly by several degrees.
