HotWeather in Sharm El Sheikh in June
June suits a Sharm El Sheikh holiday if you want warm-water swimming and can plan around serious heat. Average daytime highs reach 37.5°C, nights stay around 25°C, and the sea is a comfortable 26°C.

Expect heat that shapes your day
Compared with London's June high of 19.6°C, Sharm El Sheikh is a substantial jump in temperature. The hottest 10% of days reach 40.3°C or more, so you should be comfortable with the possibility of heat beyond the monthly average. Put anything active into the early morning, keep the middle of the day for shade or air-conditioned breaks, and leave unhurried outdoor time for later. Light, loose clothing and ready access to drinking water matter more than a packed itinerary. If strong heat leaves you tired or uncomfortable, June is a difficult fit, even with plans built around the pool.
Good swimming weather, but little break from the sun
The sea is warm enough for comfortable swimming, with June temperatures ranging from 25°C to 27°C across years. That makes a swim-focused holiday a sensible choice, though warm water should not be your only way of managing the heat. Expect about 13.5 hours of sunshine a day and virtually no rain, so wet-weather disruption is not the main concern. Instead, plan for sustained exposure: pack sunscreen, a hat and light cover-ups, and make shade part of the day rather than an occasional pause. The long daylight gives you room to shift outdoor time away from the strongest midday heat.
