As Hungary’s westernmost major city, close to the Austrian border and the foothills of the Alps, Szombathely sits in one of the wettest parts of the country, where moist air pushing in from the west brings noticeably more rain than the plains further east. OMSZ’s national radar network covers this western border district.
