The province of Burgenland lies between the climatic zones of middle and southern Europe, between the lake and continental climate. The Pannonian climate is responsible for the longest duration of sunhine in middle Europe and the highest average temperatures throughout Austria.

Summers are extremely hot and with low rainfall. Due to the evaporation of the Neusiedlersee lake the humidity in the northern Burgenland is quite high, which is extremly favourable for the growth of wine.

The long, mild autum tempts more and more guests to come to Burgenland in the months of September and October.
