Traveller notes on Canterbury in June
Notes from nearby London (87 km away)
Canterbury doesn't have its own notes for June yet — these are about London, close enough to share the season.
Ask what June is like and Londoners on the forum answer with a range, not a number: "the June temperature in London could be anything from 20°C to 40°C," and "the weather in the UK has become even more unpredictable than usual." A more grounded regular puts typical daytime highs in the 70s Fahrenheit — maybe high 60s, maybe 80s on a hot day. The useful consensus is that June is one of the drier months and "an umbrella or a full waterproof jacket is unlikely to be needed," though it can equally be very dry or thundery. Standing advice is layers plus a light raincoat, which covers both. The unarguable part is daylight: this is the longest-light month of the year, and evenings run late. Our record has 20.7°C highs and 16.5 hours of daylight.
