Severe storms strike Central and Eastern Europe: widespread alerts issued as summer begins
Severe storms sweep across Central and Eastern Europe as meteorologists issue widespread yellow alerts
Meteorological agencies across Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, and Germany have issued yellow weather warnings for violent storms, torrential rain, and hail, disrupting transport and raising safety concerns as the week begins. Romania faces the most extensive alert, covering nearly the entire country from Monday afternoon until Tuesday morning.
Romania’s National Meteorological Administration (ANM) warns of heavy downpours, lightning, wind gusts up to 65 km/h, and hail, with Bucharest under a yellow alert for squalls until 17:00 local time . The storms mark the official start of summer, with forecasters predicting atmospheric instability to persist until Tuesday . Hungary’s meteorological service echoes the alert, forecasting thunderstorms, cloudbursts, and temperatures above 20°C nationwide .
In Slovakia, Monday brings overcast skies, frequent showers, and isolated thunderstorms, though western and southern regions may see temperatures climb to 25°C . A shallow low-pressure system over Poland and an associated cold front are driving the unsettled conditions, with nighttime temperatures dropping to 13–18°C . Germany, still recovering from weekend storms that killed two people in the southwest, faces ongoing rail disruptions and localized flooding .
The storms follow an unusually dry spring in parts of Northern Europe, with 33 Danish municipalities recording their driest March–May period since 2011 . Forecasters caution that the current pattern—alternating between heavy rain and brief respites—may persist through the week, with new thunderstorm activity expected in Germany . Authorities urge residents to secure outdoor objects, avoid flooded roads, and monitor local updates.
