From 1951 to 2020, the daily maximum in Hungary changed by +0.31 C per decade (+0.55 F) (95 percent interval +0.19 to +0.42 C) and the daily minimum by +0.25 C per decade (+0.44 F) (95 percent interval +0.15 to +0.35 C), from 5 stations.
The daily maximum rose faster, by 0.06 C per decade more than the daily minimum; the two intervals overlap, so the data do not separate them.
The day-night range (daily maximum minus daily minimum) changed by +0.06 C per decade (95 percent interval +0.01 to +0.11 C), which means the range widened.
Trends per decade
| Measure | Trend per decade (C) | 95% interval (C) | Years | Stations |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Daily maximum | +0.31 | +0.19 to +0.42 | 1951 to 2020 | 5 |
| Daily minimum | +0.25 | +0.15 to +0.35 | 1951 to 2020 | 5 |
| Day-night range (maximum minus minimum) | +0.06 | +0.01 to +0.11 | 1951 to 2020 | 5 |
The day-night range is the daily maximum minus the daily minimum, so a falling range means the minimum rose by more than the maximum. Intervals allow for year to year persistence in the series.
Heavy Rain and Dry Spells by Decade: Hungary
5 stations in the annual rain series- In Hungary, annual rain at 5 stations is shown as a percent difference from each station's own 1961-1990 mean, for 70 years from 1951 to 2020.
- The trend in annual rain is -0.2 percent per decade (95 percent interval -2.1 to +1.7), fitted to 70 years from 1951 to 2020. The interval includes zero, so the series does not separate a trend from year to year variation.

The annual rain series uses stations with at least 50 complete years since 1951 and a 1961-1990 baseline. The decade charts use fixed sets of stations, the same in every decade from the 1960s. A dry day has less than 1 mm (0.04 in) of rain.

A run belongs to the year it started in, even when it ran on into the next year. A station appears once per list, with its longest run in a complete year. Dry and wet spells are the longest run within a year. Lists use complete years only, so a long run in a year with gaps in the record is not counted.
