Hungarian "sea" is disappearing at a surprising rate, its lowest water level in years.

The water level in Lake Balaton has dropped significantly, reaching its lowest point in years. Experts warn that without sufficient rainfall, the lake could face an ecological and tourist crisis similar to past droughts. The optimal summer water level is between 110–120 cm, but it currently stands at 80 cm. Natural fluctuations are common due to the lake's shallow nature, and recovery depends on weather conditions.
