The Burgenland is open to the west and characterized by continental influences.
In the northern part the Pannonian climate dominates. It blesses the whole
region with the most sun and the highest average temperatures of Austria. The
highest temperature has been measured in Andau: 39,3°C in July!
The water of Lake Neusiedl reaches 26°-30°C in August.
Typical characteristics are high humidity (due to the evaporation of Lake
Neusiedl), a light and refreshing breeze in summer and mild temperatures until
late autumn, cold winters and little snow.
In the hilly region of central and southern Burgenland the summer is not that
hot and the winter quite mild.
