Hungary Sets New Daily Heat Record As Cold Front Arrives

A new national daily heat record was set in Hungary on Saturday, just before a cold front swept across the region. The temperature reached 42.6 degrees Celsius in the southern city of Szeged, surpassing the previous record for that date. The heat wave, which had gripped the country for several days, ended abruptly as the cold front moved in from the northwest, bringing thunderstorms and a significant drop in temperatures.
