Hungarian Hydrological Forecasting Service was founded on 1 March 1892. Starting from 1929 it operated within the Institute of Hydrology. In 1952 the Research Institute for Water Resources Development (VITUKI) was established, HHFS operated within VITUKI until its closing in 2012. From 1 August 2012 HHFS operates within the General Directorate of Water Management (OVF).
Main activities of HHFS:
- acqusition, processing and delivery of actual hydrological data
- hydrological forecasting
- acqusition, processing and delivery of shallow section information
- acqusition, processing and delivery of meteorological observation and forecast data
- acqusition, processing and delivery of snow and river ice related data

Current situation and forecast for the next six days:On the Hungarian section of the Danube water levels are increasing to Budapest and generally decreasing downstream. Very low values are valid to Lábatlan, extremely low stages are measured downstream.On the Hungarian section of river Tisza water levels are increasing at Tiszabecs, decreasing below Tiszabecs to Kisköre and slightly changing downstream. On the free flowing sections (upstream of Záhony and from Kisköre to Csongrád) mostly extremely low values are valid. On the section downstream from Záhony, water regime may be heavily influenced by the operation of hydropower plants.Based on calculations for Hungarian stations included in the HHFS forecast system exceedance of flood alert levels is not expected in the next six days. On the Danube from Esztergom at many stations, on river Lajta at Mosonmagyaróvár, on river Rába at Szentgotthárd, on river Szamos at Csenger, on river Tisza between Tivadar and Záhony, between Kisköre and Szolnok at several places water stages will be below the ever observed minima.Hungarian Hydrological Forecasting Service20.08.2026 10:46
