Oroszi Beatrix announced at a government press conference that Hungary's weather forecast calls for a third-degree heat alert from Saturday for four days. The warning covers the country and points to daily mean temperatures above 29 degrees, with local daytime highs above 40 degrees in some places.

She used the opening of the briefing to set out the timing: the alert starts on Saturday and runs for négy nap. For readers, the immediate issue is simple — the hottest period begins before the weekend and lasts through several consecutive days, so the most exposed hours will be the daytime peak rather than the evening.
The figures make the threshold unusually sharp. A daily mean above 29 degrees means the average across the full day stays at an extreme level, while 40 degrees in some places means the risk is not uniform across Magyarország. People in hotter urban or inland areas should expect the strongest heat load during the middle of the day.
Magyar Péter sajtótájékoztatója
The heat announcement came at the start of the same government press conference where Magyar Péter spoke after the cabinet meeting. In the same setting, the government said the public consultation on the 17. módosítása of the Fundamental Law will continue until Saturday, with about 13 ezer vélemény received and several hundred thousand people said to have viewed the draft within a few days.
The cabinet also said 95 percent of the received feedback supports the amendments, and 40 percent of respondents made concrete proposals. The most frequently raised idea was limiting parliamentary mandates, with 12 év mentioned as the main proposal and 8 év raised by some respondents instead.
Országgyűlés és referendum
Magyar Péter said the next months will include consultations with civil organizations, minority communities, and citizens. He also said that after those consultations, the National Assembly may decide on the constitutional amendment, and voters may finally express their opinion in a referendum.
That gives the heat alert a practical edge for readers: the weather warning is immediate, while the constitutional process continues on a separate track. For anyone planning the weekend, the priority is the same as the alert itself — limit exposure during the hottest part of the day, especially where temperatures may go above 40 degrees.
