When June comes along, Lake Maggiore and the little towns that surround it, like Stresa, are in full high-season mode with beautiful weather and lots of visitors.

Rainfall

Fortunately, the rains are quick and typically don't last all day, so even if you do get rain, you'll still have plenty of time to get out and enjoy the sights in between drops. Bring along an umbrella or a poncho just in case, and check the local forecast to know for sure what to expect each day. The chance of a sunny day on any given day is 25 percent and the chance of rain is 40 percent.
Average Sunshine Hours
Thanks to the awesome temperatures, your suitcase should have short-sleeved shirts, shorts, and capris, and maybe even tank tops for the heat of the day. You'll definitely want to pack your swimsuit for splashing around in the lake as well. With 10 sunshine hours on average each day, there's lots of time to enjoy outdoor activities. Be sure to bring along sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat to protect yourself from sunburn during the long days.
