Warm days, with some hotter afternoons

An average high of 25.9°C makes light summer clothing a sensible starting point, but June is not uniformly hot. Days reach 25°C on 58% of occasions, while 9% reach 30°C, so expect warmth rather than relentless heat. Put more active plans earlier in the day and leave room for shade at midday, particularly when temperatures climb. Nights average 19.5°C, which generally favours eating outside and travelling light. Still, the coldest 10% of nights fall to 16.4°C or below, so a light jumper is useful rather than wasted luggage. June suits travellers who enjoy warmth but do not want every afternoon to revolve around avoiding the heat.

Plenty of sunshine, but leave room for rain

June brings about 10.8 hours of sunshine within 14.9 hours of daylight, giving you plenty of scope to spread outdoor plans across the day. You do not need to squeeze everything into the brightest, warmest hours; a slower midday break still leaves daylight afterwards. The catch is that sunshine is not a promise of uninterrupted dry weather. About 6 days have measurable rain, so pack a light waterproof and avoid making every day's enjoyment depend on staying outdoors. That figure does not mean those days are wet throughout. A flexible schedule makes more sense than either expecting a completely dry holiday or planning around persistent rain.

Sea swimming is a reasonable part of the plan

At 22.2°C on average, the sea is warm enough for swimming, though it may still feel fresh as you get in. The year-to-year range of 21°C to 23°C matters if you are sensitive to cooler water: June is a reasonable choice for a swimming holiday, not a guarantee of bath-like conditions. Pack swimwear, but balance time in the water with other outdoor plans rather than assuming you will want long swims every day. The combination of warm afternoons and swimmable water is June's main appeal. It is less suited to travellers who need very warm sea temperatures to feel comfortable.
