Miskolc, in northeastern Hungary close to the Bukk mountains, receives around 600 mm (about 24 inches) of rain a year, slightly more than the flatter parts of the country, as the nearby hills help trigger and intensify summer storms. The surrounding hillier terrain means intense rain can produce faster local flooding and occasional landslide risk on steeper slopes compared with Hungary’s flatter Great Plain cities. Summer thunderstorms remain the primary source of sudden, heavy rainfall. Because the hills create noticeably different local weather than nearby lowland areas, radar gives a clearer real-time picture than a broad regional forecast. Hungary’s Meteorological Service operates the national radar network.
