Hungary issues nationwide storm and hail warning as cold front ends summer heat

A cold front moving into Hungary on June 9 2026 is expected to bring intermittent rain, thunderstorms, possible hail and strong gusts that could reach 80 km/h. The meteorological service issued a first‑level (yellow) warning for eight counties – Borsod‑Abaúj‑Zemplén, Győr‑Moson‑Sopron, Komárom‑Esztergom, Nógrád, Somogy, Vas, Veszprém and Zala – highlighting lightning as the primary danger, with wind and hail also possible.
