Abstract

The prelude to the Danube flood in June 2013 was an outstanding amount of precipitation that fell in only a few days’ period. The meteorological conditions for the formation of the falling precipitation are examined, the rain falling between May 30 and June 2, corresponding to two and a half months’ amount, plays the main role. The cause of the formation of the precipitation was the cyclone that formed above Central Europe, that its temperature was an advantage in that the amount of water stored in the snow did not start to melt.
