Expect warmth that lasts into the evening

The heat is dependable: days reach 25°C throughout June, while 18% reach 30°C. You do not need exceptional temperatures for it to feel hot, because humidity averages 77%. Loose, breathable clothes and easy access to shade will be more useful than packing for cool weather. Put anything energetic earlier in the day and leave room for a slower pace around midday. Average night lows of 24.6°C mean evenings offer limited relief, so light evening clothes make sense and air conditioning is worth prioritising when choosing accommodation. June suits travellers who enjoy sustained warmth; it is less comfortable if you rely on cool nights to sleep well or recover from the heat.

Good swimming weather, without constant sunshine

Rain is usually a limited interruption rather than the main concern, with about 2 rainy days in June. That makes outdoor plans reasonable, although it does not guarantee a rain-free stay. Sunshine averages 6.2 hours within 12.8 hours of daylight, so expect a mix of sunshine and cloud rather than clear skies throughout the day. Keep sun protection handy even when the sky looks less bright. The sea averages 26.8°C, with a year-to-year range of 26°C to 28°C, making June a comfortable choice for travellers who dislike a chilly entry into the water. Swimming is a strong reason to come then, but warm water may feel less refreshing when you are already hot. Plan beach time around your comfort rather than assuming the whole day will suit lying in the sun.
