The days were warm and sunny, the temperature was around 25-30 degrees. In the evening it cooled off pretty quickly at times. A little rain, but nothing to dampen the party mood.
TomIt was snowing and temperatures were around freezing, so refreshing walks were possible. However, I recommend thermal underwear.
MarkVery cold, but I like that. Had strong cold wind. Just dress well and eat good goulash.
