Expect heat throughout the day and into the evening

Daytime temperatures reach 30°C on 99% of June days, so do not base your plans on getting a cooler spell. The hottest days can push beyond 35°C, making early starts more appealing for anything energetic. Keep the middle of the day for shade or an air-conditioned break, and carry water when you go out. Humidity averages 38%, but relatively dry air does not remove the need to take the heat seriously. Pack loose, lightweight clothing, a sunhat and sun protection. Evenings offer some relief from the daytime peak, though average night lows around 26°C mean they remain warm rather than fresh. Air conditioning is a sensible accommodation priority.

Warm sea, long sunshine hours and little rain

The sea is comfortably in swimming territory, with a June average of 25.9°C and a year-to-year range of 25°C to 27°C. That makes the month a good fit if swimming is central to your holiday, rather than just an occasional extra. Sunshine averages about 13.5 hours a day, leaving plenty of scope to spend time by the water outside the hottest part of the day. Rain is unlikely to disrupt plans, so heat and sun exposure are the practical concerns to prepare for. Choose somewhere with accessible shade and avoid treating the long daylight as a reason to stay in direct sun all day. A dry forecast does not mean effortless outdoor comfort.
