Hungary issues severe thunderstorm alerts for weekend amid shifting fronts

A series of weather fronts will affect Hungary on the weekend of 13‑14 June 2026. A weak warm front arrives on Saturday, followed by a stronger cold front on Sunday, bringing scattered showers, thunderstorms, hail and gusty winds. First‑degree meteorological alerts have been issued for six counties – Baranya, Bács‑Kiskun, Somogy, Tolna, Vas and Zala – with lightning and strong gusts as the primary hazards.

Temperatures are expected to range from the low‑20s to around 30 °C, with possible short‑term drops when showers develop. Health advisories note increased risk of headaches, migraines and blood‑pressure fluctuations for front‑sensitive individuals. A high‑pressure system is forecast to return by mid‑week, setting the stage for a heat wave with temperatures above 30 °C in the second half of the week.

Overall, the weekend will feature a mix of sunny spells, cloudbreaks and intermittent thunderstorms across the country, prompting recommendations for adequate hydration, shade and avoiding prolonged exposure to intense sun.
