The storm caused serious damage
While the summer months were particularly dry and hot this year, the amount of precipitation that fell in the first half of September caused serious problems not only in our country, but throughout Europe. Last year, the summer season was quite different: the second half of the summer of 2023 was characterized by unpredictable weather, violent storms and rain.
This year, autumn started with a heat wave, followed by serious rains and a drop in temperature: while the summer heat still remained in the first days of September, a brutal amount of precipitation fell on the country in the second week of the month.
To Generali Biztosító September 10-18, 2024. nearly 2,500 damage reports related to storm damage were received between Most of the reports came in due to the storms of the past week, followed by damage caused by roof leaks and basement leaks. Most of the reports came to Generali Biztosító from Győr, but there were also relatively many claims from Sopron, Mosonmagyaróvár and Szombathely.
Due to the heavy rains of the past few days, floods are also causing a serious problem throughout the country: according to the announcement of the National Directorate General of Water on Tuesday, the Danube in the domestic section is at level III. in most places, it peaks above the flood protection level of degree I. In Lajta, we expect the highest water level (the LNV) ever measured, and in Mura we expect peaks approaching the level of level I. According to current data, the peak in Budapest is likely on Saturday.
