Winter greets us: nationwide frosts are coming

On November 4, 2026, the polar vortex, which significantly influences weather patterns in the Northern Hemisphere, is expected to cease functioning. This early shutdown is unprecedented, occurring weeks earlier than last year's record. The current weather in Europe is characterized by below-average temperatures due to an eastern airflow, leading to nationwide frost in Hungary. Recent rain from a Mediterranean cyclone will be followed by dry air, resulting in little precipitation and only occasional fog. Temperatures will range from 8-13°C during the day and drop to 0-5°C at night. A change is anticipated on November 9, with a weather system bringing rain and preventing nighttime frost. A stronger cyclone may develop around November 11-12, leading to increased precipitation and warmer temperatures, while a significant cold front is expected again around November 13.
