Both the national and Budapest heat records were broken on Saturday, the National Meteorological Service said, quoting unofficial preliminary data.

The previous record of 18.2°C held by Pécs, in southern Hungary, on this day in 1955 was smashed in the area around Sopron, in the west, with 19.8°C recorded on Saturday.

Újpest in the capital recorded 15.1°C in 2019, and today 17°C was recorded at several weather stations in Budapest.
