🌧️ [Going in June] The month people skip for rain is not the hottest one?

People drop June from the shortlist over rain. Temperature is the only thing we hold on it, and by the long-run normals June is not the hottest month of the year — it stops short of the heat, with nights that never come far down.

June's normals come in at 25°C by day and 19°C at night. That is short of August, the year's warmest, at 30°C. The night figure matches what April manages in full daylight. How much rain falls is not something this data can tell you.

Every figure on this page is a temperature. We hold nothing on when or how much it rains, so precipitation never appears. The monthly value stacks the same calendar dates across 10 years and averages them, which is not a forecast for the day you go. Crowd levels are not part of this data set.

🌧️ June is not the hottest month!

On the normals, June runs 25°C by day and 19°C at night.

The year's high belongs to August at 30°C. Rank all 12 months by daytime normal and June comes 4th. The month named for rain is not the peak of the heat.

The year's low is January at 1°C, a 29°C spread end to end. Inside that spread, June sits above the midpoint.

🌡️ June nights read like April afternoons!?

June's night-time normal is 19°C. The month that reaches about the same figure in full daylight is April, at 18°C.

The number does not come down after dark. Day to night, June moves 6°C, and the smaller that figure, the flatter the day reads from end to end.

July then climbs to 29°C. June is not the edge of the heat so much as the slope into it.

☔ Can we tell you about the rain?

All we hold is temperature normals. They come from Open-Meteo, averaged month by month across the 10 years from 2015 to 2024.

Precipitation is not in that data at all. So how many days it rains, and how hard, are both questions we cannot answer. We cannot confirm the rainy-season label from our own numbers either.

Nor is a normal a forecast. 25°C is not a promise about your date; it is the whole period smoothed into one figure.

🧭 The crowd question lives elsewhere!

No crowd figures went into this page, so whether June runs quiet or busy is not something it can say.

The month's own crowding belongs to June crowds, and the month-against-month comparison to crowds by month. Whether rain thins the queues is settled over there, not here.

For the temperature of every month side by side, temperature by month lays out the full year. This page pulls one row out of it.

• Dick Thomas Johnson / CC BY 2.0❄️[Avoiding crowds] Same winter, but two steps apart!"January and February are quiet" is only half true. January really is quiet; February is the opposite. We tested the Lunar New Year theory and it did not hold.
• Dick Thomas Johnson / CC BY 2.0🍁[Autumn visitors] 105 of the 182 autumn days are quiet — but only through September?105 of the 182 autumn days land below the yearly average. By month, the quiet part stops after September. Counted day by day.
• Dick Thomas Johnson / CC BY 2.0🔺[If your dates can move] 31 of the year's 32 busiest days are in one season?31 of the year's 32 busiest days land inside the busy season. Even so, 53 days inside it come in under the yearly average. Counted across all 296 days.
• Dick Thomas Johnson / CC BY 2.0🎄[Visiting this winter] 8 of the 90 Christmas days come in under the yearly average?Of the 90 days in the Christmas season, 8 sit below the yearly average. The busiest lands on Dec 25 (Sat), the quietest on Nov 23 (Mon).
• Dick Thomas Johnson / CC BY 2.0🧩[Between events] 2 gaps, 16 days — but only 6 of them really empty?We have 3 verified events with 2 gaps between them, 16 days in all. Merchandise and menus for the next one land first, which cuts the gaps to 6 days.
• Dick Thomas Johnson / CC BY 2.0📚[Going in Jan or Feb] 67 exam-season weekdays, above the yearly average?The 67 plain weekdays of January and February average above the yearly average. Only 30 beat it, short of half. Holidays, breaks and weekends removed.
