The two top officials have been fired from Hungary's weather service due to an inaccurate weather forecast.

A major fireworks display was postponed by a week, after a storm was forecast for Saturday night.

The annual St. Stephen's Day fireworks show, along the Danube River in Budapest, is billed as the largest display in Europe.

The head and deputy head of the country's meteorological service were fired on Monday after the predicted storm never arrived.
