Budapest Flood 2024 LIVE | Swollen River Near Hungary's Parliament Building in Budapest | N18G

The River Danube overflowed its banks in Budapest on Thursday, with water levels reaching 6.93 meters, the highest in a decade. Unusually early winter floods were triggered by heavy rain and snow, followed by mild weather.

Hungary's General Directorate for Water Management said the Danube peaked at 6.93 metres late on Wednesday, below the 8.91 metres recorded in 2013 when extreme flooding in Central Europe began after heavy rains in late May, News.Az reports, citing Reuters.

While this year's Danube flooding has not caused any major damage in Budapest, experts cautioned that climate change could make early floods more frequent.
