Warm days, with rain to plan around

Pack for warmth, but do not build the whole holiday around uninterrupted sunshine. June brings about 7.9 hours of sunshine a day, leaving plenty of scope for time outdoors, although about 13 days have measurable rain. That does not tell you how long each wet spell lasts, so keep outdoor plans flexible rather than assuming whole days will be lost. Daytime temperatures reach 25°C on 20% of days, while 30°C is rare, making June better suited to travellers who prefer moderate warmth over intense heat. Humidity averages 84%, which can make the air feel clammy. Light, breathable clothing and a waterproof layer are sensible choices, with shade useful when the midday sun feels strong.

Bracing swims and cooler evenings

The sea is the main compromise if swimming is central to your holiday. At an average of 20.9°C, it is likely to feel brisk on entry rather than comfortably warm. Its June range of 20°C to 22°C means you should not count on bath-like water; shorter dips may suit you better than lingering swims if you feel the cold. Evenings also call for more than daytime clothing. The average night low is 16.4°C, and the coldest 10% of nights reach 13.2°C or lower. Bring a jumper or light jacket for sitting outside after dark, and something dry to put on after swimming. June suits travellers happy to balance outdoor warmth with cooler water and nights.
