They added that autumn crops can withstand permanent water coverage below 4-5 degrees Celsius, but mild weather like the past few days can only last for three weeks at most, and the water has been stagnant for more than a month in places on the Alföld. According to the forecast, the weather will continue to be mild, there may only be weak frosts at night, maximums of around 10 degrees are expected during the day, and it will be cooler only in permanently foggy areas. From Sunday, rain will arrive again in several waves, but only in smaller amounts.
