A heatwave will hit the country on Wednesday, resulting in a great contrast between the northwest and southeast of the country, while UV radiation will also be extremely strong.
As the Hungarian Meteorological Service (HungaroMet) reported published by Index.hu, the average temperature may reach 25 degrees in the southeastern counties on Tuesday. Following that the weather will continue to warm up on Wednesday, when the daily average temperature may exceed 25 degrees in the southeastern part of Transdanubia and in a larger area of the Great Plain. As a response to that, the national chief medical officer has ordered a second-degree heat alert until Thursday midnight.
The daytime peak temperature is expected to be between 30 and 35 degrees.
From Wednesday morning to midnight, the weather will remain mostly dry, only a few spots of precipitation may drift into the Alpine foothills. The northwesterly wind may sometimes be accompanied by strong gusts.
Early in the morning, the temperature will still be around 17 degrees, but by the afternoon it will rise to 32 degrees, resulting in a daily fluctuation of almost 15 degrees. The regional difference is also significant: while the temperature may decrease somewhat in the northwest, the heat wave will continue to intensify in the southeast. This great contrast will characterize the country’s weather in the following days.
