Hungary has been experiencing no significant rainfall for almost two weeks, leading to improved inland water situations but potential frost damage to early-flowering fruit trees. The lack of rain and fluctuating temperatures have also resulted in dry surface soil but saturated deeper layers. The winter has seen below-average temperatures and varying precipitation, with colder weather arriving late and not causing significant damage to crops. However, the recent warm spell has caused early development of fruit tree buds, which are now at risk of frost damage. The coming days are expected to bring colder weather with night frosts, followed by a cold front bringing light rain, after which significant precipitation is not expected until Thursday.
