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.
