When to go to Hungary?
With its continental climate, Hungary can be visited between the months of May and September to enjoy its pleasant temperatures and good levels of sunshine. Note that it can be very hot in July and August.
Hungary is subject to a continental climate with very hot and sunny summers and very cold and snowy winters. The seasons are therefore very marked. From May, the temperatures start to be pleasant but the nights are still cool. Rain is quite frequent but becomes scarce from July on. In summer, it is hot, sometimes very hot as the average temperatures in the afternoon rise to between 27°C and 30°C. The country remains one of the sunniest in Europe since it enjoys 1,800 to 2,000 hours of sunshine a year. You can swim in Lake Balaton where the temperature can exceed 20°C. September is still fine and is recommended as the summer crowds have departed. From mid-November, the long and cold winter starts with maximum temperatures that do not exceed 5°C. In January, they can drop to -4°C. However, each season brings plenty of surprises and discoveries for your stay in Hungary, such as winter sports and nature activities in the sun.
Visit Hungary between May and September, preferably avoiding July and August, as touristic sites are overcrowded.
