There might be a chance of rain, but showers tend to be light and fast, so it won\u2019t get in the way of your holiday.<\/p>\n<p>August has an average temperature of 21\u00b0C with highs of 27\u00b0C &#8211; however, regularly staying in the 30\u2019s in recent years. You can expect cooler weather at night when winds help to bring temperatures down to a comfortable level so make sure you always have an extra layer of clothes with you. Great news that you\u2019ll have 13 hours of sunshine each day and humidity levels remain low, although there can be some cloud coverage towards the end of the month and on rainy days.<\/p>\n<p>Budapest enjoys a continental climate which means the region gets cool weather in the winter and quite a lot of annual rainfall. Thunderstorms are more common in the summer because the rainfall is heavier and rising temperatures seem to fuel the storms. However, strong winds and heavy downpours can be avoided with a visit to the museum or a shopping spree in the local shopping centre.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.danubiushotels.com\/budapest-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/28003987_l.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-7243\" src=\"https:\/\/www.danubiushotels.com\/budapest-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/28003987_l-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Budapest view\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.danubiushotels.com\/budapest-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/28003987_l-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.danubiushotels.com\/budapest-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/28003987_l-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.danubiushotels.com\/budapest-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/28003987_l-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.danubiushotels.com\/budapest-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/28003987_l-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_wear_in_August\"><\/span>What to wear in August<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As briefly mentioned above you need to have enough breathable clothing for the Hungarian summer. If you choose to do a lot of walking, pack comfortable walking shoes and a small water bottle that you can carry around. Don\u2019t forget to apply a generous amount of sunscreen as the Sun can get burning during the hot summer days. Most importantly pack your swimsuits for your day at one of the thermal pools or the sensational outdoor lidos either on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.danubiushotels.com\/budapest-guide\/margaret-island-sites-experiences\">Margaret Island<\/a> or other parts of the city. However, since raining is not uncommon, carry waterproof jackets or at least an umbrella. Because Hungarian weather is mainly consistent, but can come with surprises, we would recommend to check the weather forecast before you start packing.<\/p>\n<p>Get more tips for<a href=\"https:\/\/www.danubiushotels.com\/budapest-guide\/3-days-in-budapest\"> The best itinerary for 3 days in Budapest<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.danubiushotels.com\/budapest-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/63589507_l.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7244 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.danubiushotels.com\/budapest-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/63589507_l-e1563954334561.jpg\" alt=\"Sightseeing in Budapest\" width=\"720\" height=\"1079\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cheap_flights_to_Budapest_in_August\"><\/span>Cheap flights to Budapest in August<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>All major airlines fly to Budapest on daily, but at least on weekly basis.

During the event, tradesmen move their workshops to the Buda Castle so that whoever would like to can try their hands at the many crafts. These four days are indeed a celebration of masters and crafts, a borderless event that is the most significant meeting place for masters living in Hungary and abroad.

Whilst reforming our thousand years old bathing culture, the aim&nbsp;with the combination of Hungarian bathing and party-culture is to&nbsp;create a unique musical and visual world that cannot be found anywhere else in the world.<br>Szechenyi bath parties are held in the hot summer months, late at night after the official closing hours from 10:30pm to 3:00am.<br>What should you wear? A stylish fashion show piece with stiletto, a dancing queen dress, or should you just be bare naked? No, all you have to bring along is nice swimwear, whatever that may be: bikini is just as good as a one piece, besides speedos, long trunks, surf style swim shorts are all welcome. A towel would be very useful, too.<br>Beers, wines, cocktails, juices and more can be bought on site with your special waterproof party card: there is no cash payment, but you can top up your Party Card with cash or card. The Party Card has a string attached so you can keep it safe with you in the water (around the neck or arm).<br>On top of the regular Sparties, the spectacular Cinetrip Pool Party is on twice a year: the first one is in August, around the Sziget Festival date, (the other one is normally on 30th December pre-NYE Party). These parties are awesome. No wonder Cinetrip editions are always the greatest hits of the summer season, as they are even more spectacular than the regular weekly bath parties with their own fireworks show.<\/p>\n<p>Buying your party tickets online includes a locker (or a private cabin in the bonus tickets), too.

If you choose to do a lot of walking, pack comfortable walking shoes and a small water bottle that you can carry around. Don\u2019t forget to apply a generous amount of sunscreen as the Sun can get burning during the hot summer days. Most importantly pack your swimsuits for your day at one of the thermal pools or the sensational outdoor lidos either on\u00a0Margaret Island\u00a0or other parts of the city. However, since raining is not uncommon, carry waterproof jackets or at least an umbrella. Because Hungarian weather is mainly consistent, but can come with surprises, we would recommend to check the weather forecast before you start packing.
