{{Main|Climate of Budapest}}

Budapest has a transitional climate between a [[humid temperate climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]]: ''[[Humid subtropical climate|Cfa]]'', [[Trewartha climate classification|Trewartha]]: ''[[Oceanic climate|Doak]]''), and a [[humid continental climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]]: ''Dfa'', [[Trewartha climate classification|Trewartha]]: ''Dcao''), with warm to hot summers and chilly winters.<ref>{{Cite journal |title=Table 1 Overview of the Köppen-Geiger climate classes including the defining criteria. |url=https://www.nature.com/articles/s41597-023-02549-6/tables/1 |journal=Nature: Scientific Data |language=en}}</ref> Winter (November until early March) can be cold and the city receives little sunshine. Snowfall is fairly frequent in most years, and nighttime temperatures of {{convert|-10|C|F|}} are not uncommon between mid-December and mid-February. The spring months (March and April) see variable conditions, with a rapid increase in the average temperature. The weather in late March and in April is often very agreeable during the day and fresh at night. Budapest's long summer – lasting from May until mid-September – is warm or very warm. Sudden heavy showers also occur, particularly in May and June. The autumn in Budapest (mid-September until late October) is characterised by little rain and long sunny days with moderate temperatures. Temperatures often turn abruptly colder in late October or early November.

Mean annual precipitation in Budapest is around {{convert|23.5|in|mm|order=flip}}. On average, there are 84 days with precipitation and 1988 hours of sunshine (of a possible 4383) each year.<ref>{{cite encyclopedia |url=https://www.britannica.com/place/Budapest |title=Budapest |encyclopedia=Encyclopædia Britannica |date=11 September 2014 |access-date=11 September 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Climate Budapest – Hungary |url=https://www.climatedata.eu/climate.php?loc=huxx0002&lang=en |publisher=Climatedata.eu |access-date=4 December 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150503161858/http://www.climatedata.eu/climate.php?loc=huxx0002&lang=en |archive-date=3 May 2015 |url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Sunshine & Daylight Hours in Budapest, Hungary |url=https://www.budapest.climatemps.com/sunlight.php |publisher=climatemps.com |access-date=4 December 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150222072343/http://www.budapest.climatemps.com/sunlight.php |archive-date=22 February 2015 |url-status=dead}}</ref> From March to October, average sunshine totals are roughly equal to those seen in northern Italy ([[Venice]]).

The city lies on the boundary between Zone 6 and Zone 7 in terms of the [[hardiness zone]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.gardenology.org/wiki/Hardiness_zone |title=Hardiness zone – Gardenology.org – Plant Encyclopedia and Gardening wiki |publisher=Gardenology.org |access-date=13 October 2012 |archive-date=3 October 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121003124820/http://www.gardenology.org/wiki/Hardiness_zone |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.backyardgardener.com/garden-forum-education/hardiness-zones/europa-hardiness-zone-map/ |title=Europa Hardiness zone map |publisher=Backyardgardener.com |access-date=13 October 2012}}</ref>
