Hungary is experiencing a severe heatwave with temperatures potentially reaching 40°C (104°F), and nighttime temperatures remaining unusually high between 25-32°C (77-90°F). The extreme weather is causing disruption to public services, including changes to the customer service operations of the National Tax and Customs Administration (NAV). Authorities are preparing to temporarily shut down the Paks Nuclear Power Plant as a precautionary measure due to the heat. This shutdown is intended to manage potential strain on the power grid and ensure safe operation during the exceptionally high temperatures. Residents are advised to take precautions against the heat, including staying hydrated and avoiding strenuous activity during peak hours. The situation highlights the challenges posed by increasingly frequent and intense heatwaves linked to climate change.
