Extreme weather: hail, rainstorms are expected for today!

The rainstorms and hail on Friday devastated many parts of Hungary. There were districts in Budapest where public transport restrictions had to be implemented, but the storm caused damages nationwide worth millions of HUF. To make matters worse, we have bad news for those who thought sunny days were to come.

According to index.hu, it is quite possible that catastrophes will happen today. The Hungarian Meteorological Service (OMSZ) introduced a second-level (orange) warning meaning “severe weather phenomena, which can, eventually, lead to damage, or even cause personal injury or accidents. In case of a warning, be very careful, take care of your safety and your valuables. Follow the news and details of the weather forecast. Follow the advice of reliable media and the instructions of the authorities.”

According to MTI, one should expect sunshine mixed with clouds, downpours, showers, and possible hail in some places. Northern, north-eastern wind is expected where there is rain. Lows: 12, 21°C. Highs: 26, 32°C.

Professionals said that intense rainstorms during which more than 50 mm water might come down in no time are expected everywhere in the country. Of course, everyone should expect ice as well. Here is a video of how huge hailstones came down on Friday:

  1. The God’s – are certainly ANGRY ???
    Friday – was Devastating to many – burst of anger – bit of a wake up call – letting off a bit of Celestial Anger – from far beyond the – Darkened Skies and Clouds – visible to us – in our daily lives.
    Is their a Message in all this ?
    Fair to say Hungary – we have a broadsheet of SERIOUS problems before us at PRESENT – but got to keep our heads above the water line – if we can – and Survive.
    The present weather patterns – TESTING.
    Then added to this – the Fireworks – Saturating Rain – Bolts and Flashes of Thunder & Lightening – the obvious – Anger of the Skies – unleashing cascading – down and over us.
    Prime Minister – Victor Orban and Fidesz – in the True spirit of Baron Miklos Wesselenyi – not a Problem if Hungary – continues to tie a knot around its neck or submerges sinks below and under the water line – or continues Political suicide of Policies and Procedures – sinking itself deeper with The European Union – our Prime Minister and his band of Happy “gofers” – will man the boats as did Baron Wesselenyi – to Save and Rescue us.
    My concern – when the cry comes from the bridge to – “man the lifeboats” accompanied by “abandon ship” – the Captain – Prime Minister – Victor Orban and his Crew – got in first and left us to – “the perils of the sea”.
    History – the tragedy of the ill fated liner Titanic – the catalyst – true reason for the loss of human lives – the under supply availability of Lifeboats.
    History – the never ending MESSAGE(S) – found and discovered in History – and it Never Lies.
    Challenging times we live in Hungary – not forgetting the up-coming National Elections in May 2022 – which through Democracy – we are afforded the right to Speak – Have a Voice – express our Opinion – through the POWER given us to Vote.
