Slovak settlements extended to the northern half of present-day Hungary, while the ethnic composition of present-day Slovakia itself became more diverse due to the arrival of the Germans (from the 13th century), Vlachs (from the 14th century), and Hungarians (from the late Middle Ages).
The Slovak climate is temperate, with relatively warm summers and cold, cloudy and humid winters.
In 2004 Slovakia had a fertility rate of 1.25 (i.e., the average woman will have 1.25 children in her lifetime), which is one of the lowest numbers among EU countries.
