Terrible May in Budapest

I guess the topic says it all, but this May has been terrible in Budapest. It feels as if the sun has left the capital of Hungary the last weeks, and the last days it has been raining more than it normally does within a month. This has also caused great problems around in Hungary, and in some cities people have had to leave their houses, as they have been flooded with water. It can also be seen on the Danube within the borders of Budapest that much water has rained down in the last days.

The weather reports tell us that by the end of the week the sun might show up again, and I really do hope so. During a guided tour today I almost felt as if it was impossible to move up at the Gellert Hill, due to the wind. We could also see leafes all around, and trees that could not stand against the wind of the last days!

Cancellation updates from Ferihegy

Not long ago we always had to write about “strike at Ferihegy Airport” and all the problems this caused. Luckily no strikes are coming up nowadays, but there are problems with this vulcano again, which seems to be a returning problem all around Europe.

It is not to serious this time either, but today flights to London has been cancelled from Budapest Airport. There are some more problems around in Europe, especially in the Benelux area (Amsterdam Airport was closed for arrivals), but if the cloud keeps moving south, or to the east, more trouble might come.

So far only one flight is cancelled tomorrow from Budapest (15:30 to London), but time will show, and we will keep you updated!
