The first month of the summer,
June, is still a warm month in
Corfu,
Greece, with temperature in the range of an average low of 16.4°C (61.5°F) and an average high of 28°C (82.4°F).
Temperature
In June, the average high-temperature marginally rises from a warm 23.8°C (74.8°F) in
May to a still moderately hot 28°C (82.4°F). In Corfu, the average low-temperature is 16.4°C (61.5°F).
Heat index
The average heat index in June is computed to be a hot 30°C (86°F). Exhaustion is likely with prolonged exposure and activity. Sustaining activity may result in heat cramps.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel', 'felt air temperature', 'feels like', or 'apparent temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. This effect is subjective, depending on the activity and individual's heat perception influenced by various reasons (differences in body mass, height, and shape, clothing, wind). Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
Humidity
In June, the average relative humidity is 63.4%.
Rainfall
In June, in Corfu, Greece, the rain falls for 4.9 days. Throughout June, 14mm (0.55") of precipitation is accumulated. Throughout the year, in Corfu, there are 128.7 rainfall days, and 1097mm (43.19") of precipitation is accumulated.
Sea temperature
In June, the average sea temperature is 22.8°C (73°F).
Note: Depending on a person's sensitivity to cold, with regards to sunshine, wind, and air temperature, a quick swim in 22.8°C (73°F) water may be enjoyable. (FYI: The official water temperature required for the Olympic swimming competition is 25°C (77°F) to 28°C (82.4°F).)
Daylight
June has the longest days of the year, with an average of 14h and 56min of daylight.

UV index
The months with the highest UV index in Corfu are June and
July, with an average maximum UV index of 9. A UV Index estimate of 8 to 10 represents a very high health vulnerability from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for average individuals.
Note: In June, the average maximum UV index of 9 translate into the following recommendations:
Take special precautions, as unprotected eyes and skin can be burned and damaged quickly. The Sun's UV radiation is most powerful between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. To the extent possible, limit exposure to the direct sun during these hours. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure. Tightly woven, loose-fitting clothes provide additional protection from the Sun. Prolonged stay under the direct sun should be avoided as much as possible, especially if a person burns easily. Sunscreen with a minimum 30 sun protection factor should always be used. Beware! The reflection of water and sand dramatically increases exposure to the UV rays.
