Plan around the heat, not just the sunshine

The main catch is how much the heat can restrict your day. Average highs already make prolonged outdoor activity demanding, and the hottest days reach 44.1°C or more. Put outdoor plans towards the start or end of the day, with shaded stops and indoor time around midday. Evenings are more manageable than afternoons, but they are still warm rather than cool. Pack loose, lightweight clothing, a sunhat and sunscreen, and keep drinking water readily available. If your ideal holiday involves walking outdoors for much of the day, June is a poor fit. It works better when you are content to keep plans flexible and spend substantial time inside.

Plenty of sunshine, but little cooling from the sea

With about 12.8 hours of sunshine a day, finding sunny weather is not the challenge; managing your exposure is. Rain is unlikely to interrupt plans, so shade matters much more than waterproof clothing. The sea is comfortably warm for swimming, with temperatures ranging from 31°C to 32°C between years, but do not expect a brisk, refreshing dip. Keep swimming and time beside the water for periods when the heat feels manageable, rather than treating the whole afternoon as beach time. June suits someone who actively wants hot weather and warm water. It is less suitable if you rely on swimming to cool down or dislike retreating indoors during the day.
