Hungary is currently experiencing a period of dense fog across various regions, particularly affecting western, southern Transdanubia, and parts of the Great Hungarian Plain. This meteorological phenomenon has prompted official warnings, with a first-degree alert issued for several counties due to visibility dropping to a few hundred metres.
The fog is expected to persist from Sunday across these regions, turning into low-level stratiform clouds once it lifts. In some areas, light drizzle or mist may occur, especially in the western parts of the Transdanubia and the southern Great Hungarian Plain. Meanwhile, other parts of Hungary can expect clear and sunny weather, staying dry with mild temperatures.
As reported, Sunday morning saw varied temperatures across the country, with frost affecting the north and northeast. The lowest temperature, minus 8.4 degrees Celsius, was recorded in Zabar, a location well-known for its frigid climate. Despite this frosty start, most areas are experiencing calm autumn weather, with temperatures ranging between 7 and 12 degrees Celsius in the daytime, although cooler in areas with prolonged fog.

The fog and accompanying poor visibility have led to warnings for specific regions such as Vas and Zala counties, which experience notably dense fog conditions. However, on sunnier and less foggy days, temperatures are expected to be milder than the long-term averages, bringing a pleasant autumn ambiance.
Looking ahead, similar weather patterns are forecast for the coming days, including the persistence of fog and low clouds. By Tuesday, the warning is set to cover almost the entire country. Residents are advised to be cautious of reduced visibility conditions, which might continue to impact travel and outdoor activities.
The absence of significant wind or atmospheric fronts further aids the stagnation of foggy conditions. Although generally agreed upon by meteorological sources, the forecasts encourage people to remain informed about local weather updates and heed any advisories issued.
