June

Bhutan

The summer in Bhutan lasts from June to September.  This more or less coincides with the rainy season, which although not as severe in the highlands (where you are more likely to visit) as in the tropical south of the country, can lead to roads being sometimes blocked due to landslides.  June is therefore not the ideal time to visit Bhutan.  Spring (March to May) and autumn (October and November) are better.  

Botswana

June to October is the best time to visit Botswana - with drier and cooler weather than at other times of the year. Gameviewing is at its best.

Egypt

Egypt is at its hottest from May to August.  With the relative lack of humidity, however, and sightseeing arranged for the early morning and late afternoon, it can still be very enjoyable, especially as the sites are less crowded.  Hotel prices are lower at this time of the year.

Iceland

June is a good time to visit Iceland, just before the very busy peak months of July and August.  Outside Reykjavík most of the hotels and guesthouses have now opened and the daylight hours are long - the sun never really sets during the second half of the month.

India

North: June is the hottest time of the year, with temperatures regularly passing 40 degrees Celsius, so most people would prefer to travel at another time - best months are October to March.  Himalayas - a lovely time to head for the hills, with clear and warm conditions.
South: June is very hot (up to 45 degrees Celsius), so we do not recommend travel at this time of the year. 

Iran

Summer is hot in Iran, with temperatures sometimes reaching as high as 38 degrees Celsius.  The lack of humidity, however, makes the heat tolerable and many passengers choose to travel at this time of the year.  For those who prefer milder temperatures, April/May and September/October are better times for travelling in Iran. 

Jordan

June is a good time of the year to visit Jordan.  Days should be hot and sunny, but the lack of humidity makes the heat more bearable.

Namibia

Namibia is located in the tropics and is an all-year-round destination which is mostly rain-free. From May to October (winter) it is generally hot during the day, but noticeably cooler at night.

Nepal

June to August is the period of the summer monsoon.  Although it doesn't rain all the time, visibility is poor because of the cloud cover, so there are no spectacular mountain views to be had.  On the plus side, prices are much lower than during the rest of the year, and it's one of the best times for visiting neighbouring Tibet using Kathmandu as the gateway.

Syria

Summer is hot in Syria with temperatures in the daytime reaching as high as 40 degrees Celsius.  June is therefore only for travellers who can put up with the extreme heat.

Thailand

June is hot and humid in most of Thailand, with frequent rain.

Tibet

June is a good time to visit Tibet, with warm daytime temperatures (around 15 degrees Celsius) and dry conditions.

  

  

  

Uzbekistan

May, June and September are the best months to go to Uzbekistan.  Days should be sunny, dry and warm.

 

  

  

  

Vietnam

There is no ideal time to visit Vietnam as there are distinct regional variations between the Northern, Central and Southern regions.  June is one of the hottest times of the year, with rain always a possibility in the south of the country.
