Warm enough for swimming, with little relief at night

The daytime average of 26.6°C sounds fairly moderate, but humidity of 82% can make the warmth feel heavier. June is better suited to travellers who enjoy consistent warmth than those who need crisp evenings: the average night low is 25.5°C, so there is little cooling after sunset. Pack loose, breathable clothes and choose accommodation where you can cool down comfortably. Keep strenuous activity away from midday if you find humid heat tiring. The sea is a strong reason to come, averaging 27.4°C, so cold water is unlikely to put you off swimming. That temperature does not, however, tell you about local swimming conditions.

Plan for cloud and rain rather than constant sunshine

June brings about 14 rainy days, so rain needs to be part of your plans rather than treated as an unlikely interruption. That does not mean every wet day is a washout, but the figures do not promise brief showers either. Sunshine averages about 3.7 hours within 11.7 hours of daylight: there is ample daylight for being outdoors, but much less actual sunshine. Bring a light waterproof and something to protect belongings when rain arrives. Flexible plans will suit the month better than a schedule built around clear skies. If long spells of sunshine are central to your holiday, June comes with a clear compromise.
