PHOTO GALLERY: Danube water level reaches its peak today in Budapest
On Wednesday, the Danube reached 693 centimetres in Budapest. Water levels could peak on Thursday thanks to another surge.
Gergely KarĂ¡csony, the Mayor of Budapest, wrote on his social media page that although the city has not experienced a major flood since the record flood of 2013, the experts of the Municipality of Budapest have been working continuously to strengthen the city’s flood defences.
“As a result of their work, several new weir sections have been completed recently, so we can now look forward to the surge with much more peace of mind,” he added.
As we reported earlier, the Danube has started to flood due to heavy rainfall and unexpected spring weather, and a flood alert has been declared across the country.
The embankment of Budapest has been flooded in several places and has been closed to vehicles and pedestrians.

Flood defenses? Nah. Surely what we need is another slew of gypsy culture appreciating events, main roads turned into gridlock hell by constructing bicycle tracks used by three cyclists per day, and petty ideological fights with the federal government. Mayo Greg, FTW!
