Saturday's intense snowfall caused major disruptions across western Hungary, leaving several settlements inaccessible, closing roads, and prompting firefighters to assist stranded vehicles. In many areas, more than 10 - 15 centimetres of snow fell, significantly hindering transport.

Snowfall leaves several settlements inaccessible by bus

According to the MÁV Group, multiple settlements in four counties - Baranya, Somogy, Veszprém, and Zala - were already unreachable by bus on Saturday evening due to deteriorating road conditions. In Baranya, Liget became inaccessible; in Somogy, Kaposdada and Zsippó; while in Veszprém County, Bakonybél, Hidegkút, Jásd, Kislőd, Lókút, Öcs, and Tés could no longer be reached, Hungarian News Agency MTI reported.

The situation was particularly severe in Zala County. Bagod, Becsvölgye, Csapi, Kustánszeg, Milejszeg, Nemeshetés, Nemespátró, Vaspör, Zalacséb, Zalaháshágy, and Zalaújlak all became unreachable by regional bus services. In several districts of Zalaegerszeg - including Szenterzsébethegy, Bazita, and Ebergény - local bus services also came to a halt.

HEAVY snowfall has blanketed large swathes of northern Spain this weekend after a teeth-chattering Arctic blast plunged temperatures across the peninsula.

Earlier this week, the state weather service Aemet issued an orange weather alert warning that flakes would fall - and the predictions proved correct with much of Spain feeling the freeze.

With temperatures up to ten degrees lower than normal for mid-November, the snowline in elevated areas dropped as low as 500 metres.

Temperatures plunged to -10C near the Pyrenees as the wintery weather set in, with snow causing widespread disruption on elevated roads.

To make matters worse, gusts of over 60km/h have added an extra chill to the cold conditions.

From Sunday, the mercury is forecast to finally climb back towards levels more normal for late autumn.
