Weather in June in Sardinia

What's the weather like in June in Sardinia? Can you swim in the sea yet? Usually, when we think of Sardinian weather, we imagine a longer and warmer summer compared to the rest of Italy and the possibility of going to the beach as early as the beginning of June and even in October (you can find all the information about Weather in October in Sardinia).

Sardinia has a mild and typically Mediterranean climate: winters are warm, summers are hot and dry, and spring and autumns are particularly pleasant. The rainiest months are from October to April (November is the rainiest month), while the most rainy areas are the mountainous interior parts of Sardinia and Barbagia.

Temperatures in June in Sardinia are close to those of summer, even though each season and each June month has its specific characteristics that vary from year to year. Usually, the climate in June is optimal: warm enough to enjoy the sea, yet not too hot to explore the most beautiful areas of the coastline on foot, and swimming is already possible, avoiding the crowds found in certain areas in August.

In June (and generally from June to October) the water temperature is always above 21° (it reaches 26° in August). In June, the water is cooler compared to October and the other summer months, but it's already warm enough for swimming during the hottest hours of the day.

A short wetsuit or a lycra top can help enjoy swimming in the sea at June temperatures.

Throughout the year, the Maestrale, a cool and dry wind, blows, which sometimes makes seaside days in June a bit chilly and is not ideal for swimming. The windiest part of Sardinia's coast is the northern area, including the northeastern and northwestern coasts.

In August, the Maestrale only makes the high temperatures more pleasant, but in June it might not be ideal. It's better then to choose the southeastern part of the island, such as the beaches of Villasimius in the province of Cagliari (which are very beautiful and not very windy. Here you will find the most beautiful beaches of Cagliari).

In conclusion, June is, along with September, a great month to go to the beach in Sardinia. The weather is warm, and the sea temperature is as well, there is a low risk of rain, and tourism is never too crowded, unlike in July and August.
