Water disappears from Balaton: powerful winds shift the lake – PHOTO
From 25 September to 26 September, the Balaton water level decreased by 35 centimetres in Keszthely and increased by 24 centimetres in Siófok.
According to Időkép, the wind speed reached 83 km/h at the measuring station of Fonyód-Várhegy the day before yesterday. The powerful wind affected the water level of Lake Balaton significantly.
When the Southwestern winds blowing parallel to the longitudinal section of Lake Balaton are powerful, the water inside shifts because the wind blows the water from the Western bay to the Eastern bay. The day before yesterday, the water level in Keszthely was 35 centimetres lower at 5.45 PM than at 2.45 PM, while the water level increased by 24 centimetres in Siófok.
Here is a photo of the shore in Fonyód, where the lake literally disappeared:
