May weather forecast
Hungary

May in Hungary brings warmer weather, heralding the onset of summer. The country experiences a noticeable rise in temperatures, with averages varying from 11.7°C (53.1°F) to 21.7°C (71.1°F). This significant shift in temperature marks a distinct transition from the cool spring season.

The city of Budapest experiences similar climatic conditions, with average low temperatures reaching 11.7°C (53.1°F). The influence of warm air masses from Southern Europe begins to make itself more evident, leading to an increase in daytime temperatures across Hungary.

Snowfall is virtually absent during May, replaced by rain showers. The North Hungarian Mountains and the eastern Great Plain transition fully into spring conditions, leaving behind the snowy landscapes of the winter months. Hungary's higher elevations, such as Mount Kekes, might still experience lower temperatures, but snowfall becomes a rarity.

Clear skies become more frequent, and daylight hours are significantly longer. Despite the warmer weather, rain showers continue to occur frequently due to the country's humid continental climate. Fog and mist become increasingly rare, giving way to clearer, sunny days.

As Hungary transitions into June, the temperatures continue to rise, marking the beginning of the hot summer season. The number of daylight hours reaches its peak around the summer solstice, and rainfall becomes more prevalent, particularly in late spring and early summer. Despite the increased likelihood of rain, May in Hungary is often filled with bright, sunny days and vibrant spring landscapes.
