Weather and Geography

Sunny Hours in Hungary

During our film and photo shoots we can always find the right part of the day to shoot the scenes where sunlight is needed as the weather is fairly predictable. As the summer comes, the number of sunny hours increases. In autumn and winter the sun's angle is lower so we have more dramatic and sharper lights during this period of the year.

At the same time the length of the days changes drastically during the year. Our longest day is 21 June when we have more than 16 hours of daylight and the darkest day of the year is 21 December, when we only have a bit more than 8 hours of daylight.

Rain and Snow in Hungary

The amount of rain and snow is moderate in the region. In general in late spring and early summer we have more rainfall but we rarely have multiple rainy days in a row. It has never happened that we had to cancel or postpone a shoot, because of rain or any other weather issue. In winter we have snow sometimes, but not for the whole season and not every year.

Geography of Hungary

Hungary is a landlocked country so it is not bordered by the sea, though we do have Central Europe's largest freshwater lake called Lake Balaton. In addition many smaller lakes and rivers can be found in the country, not to mention the River Danube, which runs for more than 400 kilometers through the country.

Many people think that Hungary has high mountains, but that is not true, as mountains that reach the height of 300 meters or more cover less than 2% of the country. The highest point in Hungary is Kékes at 1,014 meters.

Nature in Hungary

Hungary’s natural landscape perfectly reflects its four-season continental climate. We have endless lush meadows, hills, blossoming trees and deep forests.
