    Swimming season June–August; many resorts shut from October to April.

  • Central Hungary: Budapest and Pest County · Danube valley and the hills around itfine

    Continental: July and August often 30 °C (86 °F)+, January around 0 °C (32 °F). May, June, September and early October are the walking months; the Buda hills and Pilis hold mud after rain.

  • Central Transdanubia: Central Transdanubia · Fejér, Veszprém and Komárom-Esztergom countiescool

    Continental; July–August can pass 30 °C (86 °F), winters are cold and grey. May, June and September are the walking months.

  • Lake Balaton: Lake Balaton · Both shorescool

    Water is warmest late July to mid-August; the lake is shallow, so yesterday's air temperature is a fair guide to today's water. Storms arrive fast in June–August.

    Continental: cold winters, hot dry summers. May–June and September are the comfortable months; July–August is 30–35 °C (86–95 °F). The region is Hungary's driest, so rain rarely ruins a day.
