lezúduló

Lézúduló is a Hungarian term that generally translates to "downpour" or "deluge." It specifically refers to a sudden and intense rainfall, often characterized by a large volume of water falling in a short period. This meteorological phenomenon can occur in various weather conditions, but it is frequently associated with thunderstorms.

The intensity of a lézúduló can lead to rapid flooding of streets, rivers, and low-lying areas. The sheer volume of water can overwhelm drainage systems, causing significant disruption. In some instances, particularly in urban environments, this can result in flash floods that pose a danger to property and life.

While the term emphasizes the suddenness and intensity of the rain, the duration of a lézúduló can vary. Some may last only a few minutes, while others can persist for longer periods, contributing to more widespread water accumulation. The visual impact of a lézúduló is often dramatic, with sheets of rain obscuring visibility and the sound of falling water becoming overwhelmingly loud. Meteorological services often issue warnings when conditions are conducive to a lézúduló, advising people to take necessary precautions.
