June brings a more pronounced transition to summer with the highest average sea temperatures of 23.8°C (74.8°F). Similarly, significant jumps in air temperatures contribute to an increasingly warm climate. Clear skies promise about 14.2 hours of daylight each day, making it a perfect time for sightseeing and sunbathing. Though rainfall observations cease to be significant, occasional drizzle might occur. This dry, sunny weather underpins
Marsa Matruh’s popularity as a summer destination.

Heat index
During June, the heat index is estimated at a tropical 31°C (87.8°F). Staying active during long-term exposure might result in a state of exhaustion and cause heat cramps.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
