Hungary records hottest-ever day as heat wave continues

Budapest - The mercury hit 41.9 degrees Celsius in Hungary on Friday, the hottest day since records began, the National Meteorological Service said. The record-breaking temperature was measured in Kiskunhalas, southern Hungary, and beat the previous highest temperature of 41.7 degrees Celcius measured in August 2002. Hungary is enduring a period of blistering heat that is expected to continue until at least Monday. People have been warned to stay in the shade when the sun is at its peak and air quality warnings have been issued in the capital Budapest due to the heat, traffic congestion and dust. The city has also made available tens of thousands of litres of water this week at busy squares and junctions. © 2007 dpa - Deutsche Presse-Agentur
