Climate of Hungary

Hungary map of Köppen climate classification.

The climate of Hungary is characterized by its position. Hungary is in the eastern part of Central Europe, roughly equidistant from the Equator and the North Pole, more than 1,000 kilometres (600 mi) from both and about 1,000 kilometres from the Atlantic Ocean.

Its climate is the result of environmental changes during the Holocene Era and the result of the interaction of two major climate systems: the continental climate and the oceanic climate. The influence of both of these systems is felt across the country at different times, and the weather changes frequently. Hungary has a temperate seasonal climate.[1][2]

In 2007, Hungary was ranked sixth in an environmental protection index by Globalwatch and Climate Action Network.[3]
