Hungary sees new heat records in September
On the third day of autumn, several heat records were broken, HungaroMet said on its website on Wednesday.
On Janos Hill in Budapest, the mercury dropped to only 22.7 degrees C at dawn on Tuesday, breaking the national and capital’s dawn heat record for that day.
In 1956 Pannonhalma, in western Hungary, held the national record until then, with 22.1 C measured.
In Korosszakal, Tuesday saw a new daytime record of 36.5 C, when previously on this day 35 C was recorded in 1929 in Szerep and in 1944 in Bekescsaba.
At Budapest’s Ujpest weather station, a new daytime record of 35.1 C was measured, beating the 34.5 C level seen in 1949 at the Budateteny station.
