Rare cold and snowy winter expected
Hungary is experiencing its coldest and snowiest winter since 2012, according to meteorological website Időkép.
While snowfall is expected to be lighter than in 2012, significant precipitation is still forecast in the coming days.
More than 40cm of snow fell in parts of the country in February 2012, with daytime temperatures dropping to -10°C.
Lake Balaton froze over then and may do so again this year, though HungaroMet warns that the ice will not be safe for sports.
Ice thickness could reach up to 20cm.
Experts note that winters have become milder due to climate change, making such severe conditions increasingly rare.
