Comfortable warmth rather than hot summer weather
June suits travellers who prefer being comfortably warm to feeling hot throughout the day. Only 8% of days reach 25°C, so do not plan around strong heat; light daytime clothes and a light evening layer are a sensible combination. Cooler nights can fall to 16.0°C or below, making that extra layer useful if you sit outside late. For swimming, the catch is the water rather than the air: the average sea temperature is 20.9°C, with a year-to-year range of 20°C to 22°C. Expect a bracing dip rather than reliably warm water, especially if you tend to feel the cold.
Plenty of outdoor time, with room for showers
Rain is unlikely to be the main reason to avoid June, though a completely dry stay is not guaranteed. There are about 4 rainy days during the month, so keep outdoor plans flexible rather than assuming every day will stay dry. A light waterproof is a sensible addition to your bag. Average sunshine of 7.6 hours within 14.1 hours of daylight gives you plenty of scope to spend time outside, but not an expectation of clear skies throughout. Use the brighter spells for swimming or relaxing outdoors, and keep sun protection handy even though the average daytime temperature is moderate.
