Warm enough for summer clothes, with some hotter days
Pack mainly light summer clothing: 77% of June days reach 25°C, so warmth is the usual pattern rather than a lucky break. Days reaching 30°C are less common, at 8%, making June a reasonable fit if you like heat but would rather not have it dominate the holiday. Plan more active outings for the morning and leave room for a shaded break at midday. Sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat are sensible daily essentials. Evenings are generally mild, though the coolest nights can fall to 16.4°C or below. A light layer is useful for sitting outside late, rather than packing only for daytime temperatures.
Swimming weather and little need to plan around rain
The sea is warm enough for swimming, though it may still feel cool as you first get in. Its June average varies between 21°C and 23°C from year to year, so travellers who prefer very warm water may find it less comfortable than those happy with a refreshing dip. Rain is usually a minor interruption, with about 3 rainy days during the month, but a completely dry stay is not guaranteed. Around 10.5 hours of sunshine within 14.7 hours of daylight gives you plenty of flexibility: you can take a break during the hottest part of the day without losing all your outdoor time. Keep plans flexible rather than treating every day as uninterrupted sunshine.
