National

The National Meteorological Service has issued second-degree warnings for several parts of Győr-Moson-Sopron and Vas county due to the threat of severe thunderstorms.

 

Thunderstorms in the affected areas in the next few hours may be accompanied by gale-force winds, hail and a significant amount of precipitation in a short period of time. Disaster management asks everyone to follow meteorological alerts and storm warnings on the waterfront.

According to the updated danger signal of the National Meteorological Service, a first-degree warning is still in effect in the other counties due to the threat of thunderstorms.

As written: first in the northern and western half of Transdanubia, and then during the day more and more thunderstorms can be expected, with the highest probability and the largest number in the Transdanubia areas and in the area of ​​the Northern Central Mountains. Thunderstorms can be accompanied by a significant amount of precipitation in a short time: up to 20-30 millimeters in the southwestern part of Transdanubia. In addition, you should prepare for stormy wind gusts and hail.

Dániel Mukics, the spokesperson of the National Directorate General of Disaster Management (OKF), recommends that garden furniture, tools, and plants be moved to covered areas in the affected areas and d not park your car under trees.

He asks those staying next to waters to “take seriously the signals of the lake storm warning system”. 45 flashes per minute means a first-degree storm signal: in this case, you are only allowed to enter the water at a distance of 500 meters from the shore. If 90 flashes per minute are detected, it already means a second-degree storm signal, in which case you have to get out of the water – stressed Dániel Mukics.

If you see a broken wire or someone in trouble, call 112 – asked the OKF spokesperson.

Meanwhile, due to the heat, a second degree warning is still in effect in Békés and Csongrád-Csanád counties. In Bács-Kiskun, Hajdú-Bihar, Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok and Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg counties they have issued a first-degree warning due to the danger of heat.

The national chief medical officer originally ordered the highest level, the third-degree heat alert, from Wednesday until midnight on Saturday, but later extended this until midnight on Tuesday.
