The Hungarian government has fired the chief of the country’s weather forecasting service after an incorrect forecast on Saturday.
The chief and her deputy were both fired after a major holiday firework display in Budapest to celebrate St Stephen’s Day was postponed due to extreme weather warnings.
However, the extreme weather never materialised and both Dr Kornelia Radics and Gyula Horvath of the National Meteorological Agency (NMS) were fired by the technology and industry minister Laszlo Palkovics.
