June is early summer: dry, sunny and long, with evenings that stretch past nine o’clock. It is a great month for both walking and swimming, before the peak crowds of July and August.
The weather in June
Days are around 24 °C and nights around 18 °C, and rain is rare on the south coast. The sea reaches about 21 °C. A layer of low cloud sometimes sits over the north and the mountains in the mornings.
