Hot days, but extreme heat is not the norm
June suits travellers who enjoy warmth but would rather avoid the peak summer months. Days reach 25°C on 77% of occasions, while only 7% reach 30°C, so expect consistently warm weather rather than assuming intense heat throughout your stay. That does not rule out a hotter spell, and the midday sun can still make time outdoors tiring. Keep more active plans for the morning or later afternoon, with shade and water close at hand during the middle of the day. Light, loose clothing makes sense; with average nights around 21°C, you are unlikely to need much extra warmth, though a light layer is useful if you feel the evening breeze.
Plenty of swimming time, with little rain
The sea averages 24°C, making June a straightforward choice if swimming is central to your holiday. Its year-to-year range of 23°C to 25°C stays within comfortable swimming territory, though how warm it feels is personal. There is also plenty of daylight to spread out your plans: sunshine averages about 13 hours a day, so you need not spend the hottest stretch in direct sun to enjoy time outside. Sunscreen, a hat and regular shade breaks belong in your daily routine. Rain is usually a minor interruption, with about 1 rainy day during the month. A flexible outdoor plan makes more sense than organising the holiday around wet-weather alternatives, although completely rain-free weather is not guaranteed.
