Due to the thunderstorms, HungaroMet issued a first-degree yellow alert.
In the affected areas, the primary source of danger is lightning, in addition, the wind can occasionally get stronger and hail can also occur.
The operative group overseeing the August 20 events will met at 7 a.m. under the leadership of Zoltán Kovács, the state secretary responsible for international communications and relations.
Kovács said that the operational staff studies the weather forecasts all day long, and if the weather turns out to be unfavorable, they will make the necessary decisions about the safe holding of the evening fireworks until the early afternoon.
“The most important thing is to create safe conditions, in Hungarian, if there is even the slightest chance that something would disrupt the evening’s more than half-hour fireworks, then we will make the necessary decisions,” the state secretary told state news agency MTI.
