Weather and Climate in Hungary

The climate in the southeast of Hungary is very different to the climate of North- and West-Hungary and is similar to the climate of the Mediterranean.The summers are long, hot and nearly without rain. The temperature is rising up to 38 degrees. Autumn stays like the indian summer warm and without much rain. October is still a good month for canoeing. Start of the canoeing season is the middle of April. Higher rainfall is at the beginning of June but without
rainperiods over several days.

Reasons for this good climate are the southerly position of southeast Hungary, the stable high pressure areas and the mountain ranges which surround Southeast Hungary. The warmest point in Hungary is the village of Gyula at the river
Feher-Körös, about 40km south of Gyoma. The sun is shining here 2038 hours
a year, this is one of the highest records in Europe.
