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

  • Great Plain and south · Szeged, Pécs, Hortobágybest weather

    The sunniest, hottest part of the country; Pécs has a milder, Mediterranean touch.

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

    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 countiesbest weather

    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 shoresfine

    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.

  • Northern Great Plain: Great Plain · Debrecen, Hortobágy, Nyíregyháza, Szolnokbest weather

    Continental and dry: hot summers (30 °C (86 °F)+), cold winters, and the steppe wind year-round. May–June and September are the comfortable windows.

  • Northern Hungary: Zemplén and Tokaj hills · northeast, along the Slovak borderbest weather

    Harvest (szüret) runs late August to October and is the busiest cellar season; autumn here is long and dry.

  • Southern Great Plain: Southern Great Plain · Szeged, Kecskemét, Baja, Gyulabest weather

    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.

  • Southern Transdanubia: Pécs and the Mecsek · hills and basin in the centre of the regionbest weather

    Warmest and driest part of Hungary; the Mecsek hills take the edge off July heat. May, June, September and early October are the walking months.

  • Southern Transdanubia: Harkány / Hévíz spa belt · south border and the north-west edgebest weather

    Thermal water is open year-round, but outdoor pools and the surrounding guesthouse trade peak July–August.

  • Western Transdanubia: Győr / Sopron plain · northern half of the regionbest weather

    Continental: warm summers around 28 °C (82 °F), cold winters near freezing; May–June and September are the best walking months.
