Cyclone Boris also hit Lake Balaton: the Hungarian sea is shifted
Cyclone Boris not only brought heavy rain, but also high winds and reached the ‘Hungarian sea’.
In Hungary, the settlements along the Danube are most at risk of flooding, but the Somogy county news portal reports that Cyclone Boris has not spared Lake Balaton either.
Extremely strong winds hit Fonyód residents over the weekend, with gusts of up to 130 kilometers per hour measured by Kab Hill instruments. Winds of 105 kilometres were recorded in Siófok and Alsóörs.
The cyclone hit the area with extreme wind gusts and also caused the lake’s water level to shift. Experts measured very different water levels in the two parts of the lake, with the southern side 33 centimeters higher than the northern side. While the water level at Siófok was 109 centimeters as measured on Sunday morning, on the other side, at Badacsony, it was only 76 centimeters.
As we wrote earlier, the Hungarian geological site, near Lake Balaton, was recognised among the world’s most significant, details HERE.
