Climate Detail
The UV index reaches 10–11 in June — the same extreme level as July and August. This is not casual summer sun; unprotected skin burns in 15–20 minutes at midday. Sun protection is not optional. Trade winds continue to moderate the perceived temperature, making 26°C feel very comfortable rather than oppressive. Sea temperature reaches 21°C — warm enough for extended, enjoyable swimming. The 'panza de burro' cloud bank occasionally forms offshore in June mornings and burns off by mid-morning, leaving clear skies for the rest of the day.
