What's the weather like in Lake Garda in June
June is one of the hottest months at the stunning Lake Garda in northern Italy, close to Verona to the east and Milan to the west, and so a very popular time with tourists who throng to the region to see its beautiful ancient ruins and stunning lakeside views.
Temperature
The average temperature at this time of year is a warm and lovely 22ºC (71.6ºF) with highs reaching 26ºC (78ºF), making it amongst the highest in Italy at this time of year. Even the very lowest average temperatures of 17ºC (63ºF) are warm enough to eat outside and enjoy the lake by both day and night.
Rainfall
Despite this month only having, on average, one more rainy day than May there is a slight spike in the amount of rainfall that falls. On average this month there are 13 rainy days with around 85mm of rain falling which suggests the rainfall comes in the form of heavy, rather than prolonged, showers.
Sunshine Hours
On average visitors to the region this month can expect to enjoy 11 daily sunshine hours, making it another great month for enjoying outdoor activities and, thanks to the increased temperatures, even some sunbathing at the many pools and beaches found around the lake.vFor sunbathing you'll need sunshine and this month you are very likely to get it as there is a 39% chance of experiencing a sunny day. With only a 7% chance of finding a cloudy day, it's well worth taking advantage of the sun not shining every once in a while, to explore some of the indoor museums, churches and historic villas which litter the lake's shores.
Wind
Again this month, wind is unlikely to prove a problem with only a 5% chance of experiencing a windy day, although if you are interest in some of the sporting activities on the lake which require wind like sailing or windsurfing, don't despair, local winds, especially in the northern part of the lake, will make sure to give you what you need so keep an eye on the local weather forecast.
Lake Garda Hotels for June
Bellevue San Lorenzo
At Bellevue San Lorenzo in Malcesine, you will have the delightful choice of whether to take in the stunning lakeside views from the infinity pool or from the sun-drenched terrace while enjoying a glass of cold white wine. If you're unlucky with the weather in June and find yourself hiding from the rain then you can always take advantage of the free spa facilities including a Turkish bath and sauna.
Boffenigo Small & Beautiful
Get away from it all at the secluded hillside Boffenigo Small & Beautiful at Costermano. Set in the hills with a beautiful sun terrace and pool with views out across the lake and a sumptuous spa and fine-dining restaurant, this is a romantic escape from the often tourist-filled towns and villages around the lake.
Hotel Vigna
Explore the beautiful historic town of Salò with its many shops, restaurants, cafés and bars from the comfortable family-run Hotel Vigna located right on the town's lakeside promenade with views out across the water.
Lake Garda Beaches for June
Sabbioni Beach
Celebrate the warmer temperatures in June with a trip to one of the lake's beautiful beaches like Sabbioni Beach at Riva Del Garda where the locals come to swim, windsurf, sunbathe on the sand or just people watch. There's also a kiosk for drinks.
Giamaica Beach
A walk to the north of Sirmione on its northern peninsula is Giamaica Beach with stunning views out over the lake. The surface is rocky here, not sandy, so if you want to swim water shoes are advised as it can be slippery.
Bars and Restaurants
N'ice
Stop off for an early evening cocktail at N'ice in Desenzano Del Garda and enjoy the young, local Italian vibe and lively atmosphere.
Osteria al Pescatore
Experience local lake-caught fish prepared in the traditional way of the region at the cosy, family-run Osteria al Pescatore. There is no set menu here as the owner's base each day's menu on the catch of the day, so you know what you are eating is the very freshest fish, caught that day in the beautiful lake.
Things to do in Lake Garda in June
MuSa
Find out more about the fascinating history of northern Italy and Lake Garda at MuSa, the Museum of Salò. With a fascinating collection of local art, religious texts, artefacts and more, this is definitely a great way to spend one of the few rainy days you might see here in June.
Chiesa di San Pietro in Mavino
Discover the Chiesa di San Pietro in Mavino, Sirmione, a beautiful 8th century chapel with breath-taking frescos painted on the wall. This is only a short stroll from the more popular tourist attraction of the Grotto di Catullo, the famous Roman ruins, and is well worth stopping off on the walk back to town.
