We need to prepare for sunshine and thunderstorms over the festive long weekend, according to the National Meteorological Service’s national medium-term forecast, which was submitted to MTI on Thursday.
There will be plenty of sunshine on Friday, but there may be showers in the southwestern counties in the morning. In the evening, more and more cumulus clouds will be forming in the western counties, and in Transdanubia, there may be more showers and thunderstorms, which may be accompanied by a downpour. Temperatures are usually between 10 and 17 degrees during the coldest hours but can be a few degrees colder in the northern valleys. The highest temperatures are likely to be between 27 and 32 degrees.
On Saturday, “extensive thunderstorms” are expected from a cloud passing from the west. Behind the precipitation zone, it is mostly cloudy, but sunny weather is also probable, and in the afternoon it can rain only in the eastern landscapes. The wind will pick up, and there may be strong or stormy gusts around thunderstorms. The temperature is usually between 14 and 19 degrees in the morning and between 24 and 31 degrees in the afternoon.
