Warm days, with some hotter spells

Expect weather that feels properly warm, but not consistently scorching. Around 60% of days reach 25°C, while just 7% reach 30°C, so June is a sensible choice if you enjoy heat but would rather not make it the focus of your holiday. The warmer end of the month’s weather can still feel demanding: the warmest 10% of days reach 29.1°C or more. Put more active plans earlier in the day and leave room for shade around midday. Light clothing, sunscreen and a hat make sense, but there is no need to assume every afternoon will be extremely hot.

Plenty of daylight, little need to plan around rain

Rain is unlikely to dictate your plans in June. There is about 1 rainy day across the month, so outdoor time is a reasonable basis for your holiday rather than something to squeeze between showers. That is not a guarantee of an entirely dry stay, but a flexible alternative for a wet spell should be enough. About 11.5 hours of sunshine within 14.5 hours of daylight also gives you scope to spread activities out. You do not have to pack everything into the hottest part of the day. Prioritise sun protection in your packing rather than a wardrobe built for wet weather.

The sea lags behind the air temperature

The main compromise is swimming. An average sea temperature of 19.3°C means getting in can feel sharp, even when the air is warm enough for light summer clothes. The year-to-year range of 18°C to 20°C suggests you should not count on the water feeling comfortably warm. June works better if you are happy with a refreshing dip than if you want to linger in the sea. Evenings are milder, with average night lows of 18.2°C, but the coldest 10% of nights fall to 15.7°C or below. Bring a light jumper or layer for sitting outside after dark.
