Hungarian Prime Minister Orban Viktor issued a statement saying, "The extreme weather on July 7, 2025 caused significant losses throughout Hungary, with 366000 households experiencing power outages at its peak. After emergency repairs, about 50000 households are still in a power outage state." The Hungarian government's crisis management center confirmed that the extent of power grid damage caused by this wind disaster has set a record for the country in nearly 30 years.

According to the Hungarian National Disaster Management Agency, the main impacts of this disaster include:

Power system: power outages in over 350000 households nationwide

Transportation Network: The railway transportation system has suffered serious damage

Municipal facilities: Water supply systems in multiple areas have malfunctioned

Air Transport: Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport forced to suspend operations for 3 hours

A spokesman for Ferenc Liszt International Airport in Budapest, the capital of Hungary, said that strong winds had caused a large amount of debris to accumulate on the runway, and one of the terminal buildings was flooded due to rainstorm. The airport emergency department quickly launched cleanup work to ensure the resumption of flight takeoff and landing in 3 hours.

The Hungarian State Power Company has initiated the highest level of emergency response and organized more than 2000 technical personnel to carry out repair operations. The Hungarian government announced that it will use the national reserve fund to support post disaster reconstruction work, and it is expected that it will still take 48-72 hours to fully restore power supply.
