Weather

The climate of Hungary is continental, with cold winters and warm summers, sometimes hot. Spring and autumn are mild, but there are frequent changes in temperature, especially in spring.

On the shores of Lake Balaton, a large but not deep lake, in winter the weather is usually a bit less cold and dull, except during cold waves, when it's cold anyway, while in summer the breezes temper the heat. In summer, the lake is warm enough for swimming.
