Most visitors come in the summer, when nine or ten hours of sunshine
can be relied on most days, sometimes interspersed with short, violent
storms. The humidity that causes these is really only uncomfortable in
Budapest, where the crowds don't help; elsewhere the climate is
agreeable. Budapest, with its spring and autumn festivals, sights and
culinary delights, is a standing invitation to come out of season. But
other parts of Hungary have little to offer during the winter, and the
weather doesn't become appealing until late spring. May, warm but
showery, is the time to see the Danube Bend, Tihany or Sopron before
everyone else arrives; June is hotter and drier, a pattern reinforced
throughout July, August and September. There's little variation in
temperatures across the country: the Great Plain is drier, and the
highlands are wetter, during summer, but that's about as far as climatic
changes go. The number of tourists varies more - popular areas such as
Szentendre and Tihany can be mobbed in summer, but rural areas receive
few visitors, even during the high season
