The best time to travel to Hungary is during late summer, when the weather is warm and relatively dry. Hungary has a continental climate with distinct seasons, and a great variation between winter and summer conditions. During winter the weather is bitterly cold with snow blanketing the ground for weeks and the mighty Danube River freezes over. Spring and early summer are subject to heavy showers of rain. Summer temperatures can reach 82°F (28°C) or higher.
