About article:
THE EAST SLOVAK LOWLAND IN 2010: THE YEAR OF EXTREME PRECIPITATION. In presented paper we deal with analysis of precipitation totals in 2010 in the East Slovakian Lowland (ESL), in climatologic stations: Michalovce, Milhostov, Orechová, Somotor a Vysoká nad Uhom. From the long-term precipitation point of view May 2010 was unprecedently record-breaking in evaluated stations except station Orechová. In Milhostov, Somotor, and Vysoká nad Uhom it rained three times more rainfall than normal. In May and in early June caused mostly by cyclonic weather situation regions in Slovakia have been stricken by extensive rainfalls, which hit repeatedly in catchments and had been sufficiently water-saturated by previous precipitation events in April 2010, autumn 2009 and winter 2009/2010. Subsequent floods have been conditioned not only the lack of water management activities, but especially prolonged extensive rainfalls.
