Warm enough for summer clothes, with some hotter days
June generally feels summery, but it is not consistently very hot. Days reach 25°C around 55% of the time, while 14% reach 30°C. That makes it a reasonable choice if you enjoy warmth but do not want intense heat to be the main feature of your holiday. Still, keep more active plans away from midday when the forecast turns hot, and pack a hat and sun protection. Humidity averages 70%, so warmer spells may feel close rather than crisp. Evenings call for a little flexibility: a light layer is sensible for sitting outside, particularly after a warm afternoon makes the drop in temperature more noticeable.
Plenty of daylight, but leave room for rain
June offers about 7.8 hours of sunshine a day within 15.5 hours of daylight, giving you a generous window for outdoor plans without promising clear skies throughout. Rain is a meaningful part of the month, so a lightweight waterproof deserves space alongside your summer clothes. The practical approach is to keep weather-sensitive plans movable and use brighter periods when they arrive. A rainy day does not necessarily mean rain all day, but equally, the monthly averages cannot tell you how it will fall during your stay. Choose June if that uncertainty feels manageable; it is less suitable if a dry holiday is your main priority.
