Where is hot in June 2023 – and cheap
By Mark Hodson, Sunday Times Travel Writer
Q. Where is hot in June?
A.
The Mediterranean is the obvious region to visit in June with long sunny days, low humidity and temperatures reaching the high 20s. Further afield, the Caribbean (31ºC) is great value.
June in the Mediterranean offers long days of sunshine and uncrowded resorts. Because the school holidays have yet to begin, airlines and tour operators are struggling to fill beds, and that means cheap offers and late deals. Below, our researchers recommend the best holidays at this time of year.

Best and Worst Rainfall
Aruba has the lowest rainfall of all the destinations in June with only one inch on average, but that is mostly true of Aruba year-round. It is popular during the peak months of the hurricane season because it usually avoids the worst of the weather.
Antigua and St. Maarten weather in June historically also have lower than average rainfall. Many other islands average about four to five inches.
A handful of destinations known for rain forests have even higher amounts of rain. Most of them are Central American countries that are popular with western Caribbean cruises.
Belize and Costa Rica, which are major stops on western Caribbean cruises, have the highest rainfall. Both destinations usually have high rainfall throughout most of the year, which is why they are known for their lush rainforests. The highest amounts of rainfall for these Central American countries are usually inland rather than their cruise ports on the coast.
The title for worst rainfall in June is the Bahamas. Even though Belize and Costa Rica have more, the Bahamas are unusual for getting so much more rain than normal in June compared to other Caribbean islands.
The average number of days that it rains varies widely from one destination to the next. Punta Cana, Montego Bay, San Juan and Aruba all have lower than average days when it rains.
Best and Worst Temperatures
Hot weather hits Aruba, Cancun, Cozumel and the Cayman Islands with average daytime temperatures above 90 degrees Fahrenheit or 32 degrees Celsius.
Most other destinations hover in the mid to upper 80s Fahrenheit during the month.
One exception is Costa Rica, which has lower overall temperatures in part because of mountains and rainforests.
Average nighttime temperatures hover in the mid 70s Fahrenheit or about 23 to 25 Celsius. Sea water will be comfortable for swimming.

weather, tours, reviews, where to rest
If you want to go to the tropical island of Sri Lanka in June, then you have chosen one of the best months. Numerous hours of sunshine and rare rains – such is the weather in Sri Lanka in June over most of the island. However, it is worth remembering that on the west coast this month is the rainy season, although there is relatively little rainfall. On the other hand, precipitation allows plants to bloom with new colors and become fresh green. nine0023 In some parts of Sri Lanka it can be quite hot in June, so you should avoid visiting these regions if you do not tolerate the heat.
Weather in Sri Lanka in June
Although the hottest months are behind us, the weather in Sri Lanka in June is still hot. The highest daily temperatures on the island are observed in the north, in the Jaffna region, where the average daily temperature is 33.5 degrees. It’s also hot on the east coast between Tricomalee and Batticaloa, where the average daily temperature is 33.2 degrees. nine0023 As for the weather in June on the southern and western coasts of Sri Lanka, it is not so hot, as the average temperature in the area between Colombo and Galle is 31. 0 ° C. Sometimes there are days with temperatures above 35 degrees, but this is rather the exception rather than the rule. By the way, at night here the temperature drops to 25-27 degrees, but there is no question of any coolness.
If you’re looking for a cool spot in Sri Lanka, you’ll find it in the central highlands south of Kandy, where daytime temperatures are 17.7 degrees. Southwest of Kandy is Sri Lanka’s rainiest region, with 679mm of precipitation. On the southwest coast this month, the amount of precipitation is low (only 87 mm), despite the ongoing rainy season. On the northwest coast, rainfall is rare in June, as the average is only 5mm of rainfall this month. This means that for the whole month only 1-2 times a little rain is possible.
By the way, the east coast south of Trincomalee gets around 10mm of rain in June, so this is another pretty dry region of Sri Lanka this month. nine0003Where to go to Sri Lanka in June
Where is the best place to relax in Sri Lanka in June? The choice of vacation spot depends mainly on your goals and on some other factors. For example, package tourists most often choose resorts on the west coast, since almost all the hotels where Russian tour operators sell tours are located here. In addition, this area is close to the Colombo airport. However, the best places to stay in Sri Lanka in June, especially for those tourists looking for waves without waves, are the northwest coast in the Kalpitiya region, the north coast in the Jaffna region and the east coast between Trikomalee and Batticaloa. The weather in these areas is very dry, with little or no rain. In addition, the ocean is quite calm, so the conditions for swimming and snorkeling are almost ideal. nine0023 The southwest monsoon will lose its strength in June, so the weather on the west coast this month is not as rainy and windy as in May. However, no cooling occurs, so expect temperatures between 28 and 32°C during the day.
On the east coast of Sri Lanka in June, the peak of the dry season, so the rains here are so rare that no one even prepares for them and does not take into account. It is also important that the air humidity here is very low. True, the temperature during the day can reach 38 ° C, which makes the weather unbearable. Even at night there is no cooling. nine0023 The south coast of Sri Lanka is a good place to stay in June. The weather here is unstable, but there are almost no long rains. Mostly short-term showers fall, the consequences of which disappear within 1-2 hours after their completion. It is worth noting that in most cases the daily temperature in the south is 30-32 ° C, and such heat as in the northeast and east does not happen here. So if you are looking for a less hot region of Sri Lanka for a holiday in June, then we advise you to pay attention to the south and southwest of the island. nine0023 In the cool central highlands of Sri Lanka, daytime temperatures are usually between 17-20°C, but there are often unexpected rains that you need to be prepared for every day.
Where is the best place to go on an excursion in Sri Lanka in June? It seems to me that this month is well suited for exploring the ancient cultural centers of Polonnaruwa, Anuradhapura and Sigiriya in the Cultural Triangle of Sri Lanka. Temperatures during the day here fluctuate between 29 and 33 degrees, so they are well tolerated. At least in April and May, this region is hellishly hot. However, while touring the Cultural Triangle, one should always be prepared for a brief tropical downpour. nine0003The best beaches in Sri Lanka in June
June is one of the best months of the year for a beach holiday in Sri Lanka. Often travel agencies do not recommend traveling to this island in June, explaining everything by the rainy season. But travel agents have a very general approach to the weather in Sri Lanka, so they often think in a standard way and believe that the rainy season lasts half a year on the island and the holiday season lasts the same. This approach is explained only by the fact that travel agents simply do not understand or do not want to understand the peculiarities of the weather in Sri Lanka. nine0023 The fact is that in June it rarely rains in Sri Lanka, even on the western and southern coasts, where the rainy season really lasts at this time. However, the rains tend to fall in the afternoon as short but intense downpours.
Beaches without waves in Sri Lanka in June can be found almost everywhere. Although on the western and southern coasts, calm water does not happen every day. In the northeast, north and northwest of Sri Lanka in June you will find many beaches without waves. It is here that the best beaches for swimming and snorkeling are located at this time of the year. But still it is worth remembering that on the east coast of Sri Lanka the weather can be unbearably hot. nine0003What to see in Sri Lanka in June
In June, Sri Lankan Buddhists celebrate Poson Poya. This is a rather inconspicuous holiday compared to other full moon festivals. Temples are decorated, streets and houses shine in the light of countless oil lamps and lanterns. The grandest celebration of this day takes place in the small town of Mihintale, not far from Anuradhapura. Mihintale is considered the cradle of Buddhism in Sri Lanka. Thousands of pilgrims from all over the country come here to celebrate the holiday with prayers, music and dancing. nine0023 June is an ideal month for visiting the national parks of Sri Lanka due to the relatively low rainfall. At the same time, in previous months, the rains filled the rivers and lakes, and the landscape of the parks became beautiful. June is ideal for animal watching, as many wild animals give birth and care for their young during this time.
But still, I would not recommend visiting nature reserves in the eastern part of Sri Lanka in June, because due to the hot weather, the animals here are not very active during the day. nine0003Sri Lanka in June: reviews of tourists
Alexander, Krasnodar
Although I thought that the rainy season in Sri Lanka in June, I decided to take a chance and go to this island. Our hotel was in Hikkaduwa. In truth, I was very glad that during the rest there was almost no rain. At the very least, I was expecting a few long showers, but in fact, there were only a couple of short showers in the evening.
