Storm Warnings
From May to September Balaton is prone to occasional storms. Twenty-four storm signalling stations dotted around the lake indicate when storms are approaching, or when the wind is getting up, via a series of yellow flashing lights: thirty flashes per minute indicates winds of 40-60km per hour; sixty flashes per minute means winds of over 60km per hour. In the case of sixty flashes per minute it is forbidden to enter the water and windsurfers or sailors should head for land at once
