Rain is the main reason to reconsider

With 742 mm of rain during June, wet weather needs to shape your plans rather than sit in the background as a possibility. Keep outdoor time flexible and choose accommodation where you would be comfortable spending time indoors. A waterproof jacket, shoes that cope with getting wet and quick-drying clothes are more useful than packing solely for the beach. There is plenty of daylight, but little sunshine, so do not confuse long days with clear skies. June suits someone content to take outdoor opportunities as they come; it is a frustrating choice if your holiday depends on sunbathing or keeping to a fixed outdoor schedule.

Warm days, sticky nights and a warm sea

Average highs of 28.4°C sound manageable, but humidity of 88% makes this a sticky rather than a dry heat. Loose, lightweight clothing is a sensible starting point, and air conditioning is worth prioritising when choosing somewhere to sleep. Nights average 25.1°C, so evenings offer little relief from the warmth. Keep exertion gentle around midday and leave room for breaks rather than planning long stretches outdoors. The sea averages 28.8°C, comfortably warm enough for swimming on temperature alone. That warmth does not guarantee suitable swimming conditions, though: follow local advice on the day rather than treating the sea temperature as a safety signal. The appeal here is warmth, not reliable sunshine.
