Warm days, with occasional hotter spells

Pack mainly for warm weather, but do not expect every afternoon to feel hot. Days reach 25°C around 39% of the time, while 30°C is much less common at 3%. That suits travellers who want to spend time outdoors without making strong heat the focus of the holiday. Humidity averages 77%, so the warmth can feel sticky; loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice. Evenings are usually mild enough for light clothes, although the coldest 10% of nights fall to 17.4°C or below. Bring a light layer for sitting outside late, rather than packing only for the average night.

Plenty of sunshine, but keep plans flexible

June brings about 10.9 hours of sunshine within 14.8 hours of daylight, leaving plenty of room to shift outdoor plans around the weather. Use the brighter part of the day for time outside, with shade and sun protection rather than judging sun exposure by how hot it feels. Rain affects about 4 days during the month, so a completely dry stay is not guaranteed. A light waterproof and some flexibility are more useful than assuming every day will follow the same pattern. The overall balance favours an outdoor holiday, but keep anything that depends on dry weather movable where possible.

Sea swimming is a realistic part of the trip

At an average of 22.7°C, the sea is warm enough for swimming, though it may still feel fresh when you first get in. The year-to-year range of 22°C to 24°C means June is a reasonable choice if swimming matters, rather than something to treat as a lucky bonus. Your own tolerance still matters: travellers who like very warm water may find it cooler than they would prefer. Combine swims with time out of direct sun, especially around midday. June suits a mix of swimming and other outdoor time better than a holiday built around consistently high air temperatures.
