Slovakia was hit by the strongest storms. Water flooded the west. More strong storms are yet to come – iMeteo.sk

Slovakia has had the most turbulent day, which has brought thousands of lightning bolts and even extremely dangerous side effects to our territory. In the towns and villages around the Little Carpathians, water flooded the pubs and roads. The beginning of May brought very wild weather to our territory. On Tuesday, we recorded a summer day in our territory for the first time, ie a day with a temperature above +25 ° C. This is not exceptional in itself, but it is interesting that this is the latest first summer day in Slovakia since 1997. Along with summer temperatures, storms usually come and they have been operating in our territory for several days, while during today’s on the day we recorded the most dangerous storms. They hit western Slovakia. More than 10,000 lightning strikes A warm air flows into our area from the south and at the same time there is an area of ​​lower air pressure above our area. It brings moisture, which is almost always quite dangerous in the summer. The warm and humid air is so easy to labile and the unstable environment is very suitable, even excellent, for the formation of hilly clouds and subsequent storms. This has been happening in our territory for several days and will continue to do so. However, Wednesday brought the most intense storms so far. The first storms occurred in the area of ​​central Slovakia. They were concentrated in the mountain area and brought dozens of lightning bolts. However, they did not cause significant damage. However, this began to change in the second half of the afternoon. East of Malacky, between Malacky and Rohožník, a strong stationary storm arose at the military airport, which produced hundreds of lightning bolts and heavy rainfall. More than 50 mm of rain fell in the area and struck more than 2,200 lightning bolts. This cell subsequently moved over the Little Carpathians, where a significant storm system began to develop, stretching from the Záhorie area, through Bratislava to northwestern Hungary, and at the head of which there was significant lightning activity. Lightning detection recorded up to 10,972 lightning strikes in our territory on Wednesday, with the majority striking in western Slovakia. Locally, more than 15 lightning strikes per km2 struck, which is already a very significant lightning activity. lightning detectors recorded thousands of lightning bolts, most notably in the far west, where more than 15 lightning bolts per km2 struck, source: blesky.bourky.cz Storms brought torrential rainstorms Storms over the Little Carpathians became dangerous. The first reports of damage came from the area of ​​Pezinská Baby. The SHMÚ precipitation station in Pernek noted that more than 90 liters of precipitation per square meter of land had fallen in a matter of minutes, and it was becoming clear that such precipitation would certainly cause damage. This also happened and soon the news of the Pezinská Baba mountain pass came that the passage was impassable. The tidal wave flooded the mud, stones and woody plants on the road and the police closed it in the area of ​​the road. The storm system subsequently moved to the area of ​​Pezinok and Senec, where it also began to cause torrential rain problems. Rain gauge stations recorded totals in the range of 20 to 40 mm of precipitation at several locations. The water flooded the streets as the sewers did not manage to absorb the water. For example, the towns of Pezinok or Senec, as well as the surrounding villages, found themselves underwater. However, the most serious situation occurred in Šenkvice. Torrential rains caused torrential floods in the village. The houses below the local hill were most affected, where water and mud flooded the family houses and cellars. Firefighters intervened on the spot. More severe storms are yet to come. The weather will not change in the following days. We will continue to be affected by the shallow pressure below, which will provide humidity and at the same time warm air will continue to flow into our area. On Thursday, the situation will be similar to Wednesday. Again, the so-called heat storms, which will cause torrential rain. There will be a slight change on Friday, but it could bring even stronger storms. A cold front will advance through our territory, bringing dynamism to this unstable environment, and storms can thus be accompanied by other dangerous side effects such as torrential rain. There is a risk of stronger wind or even hail.
