Daylight Hours/ Sunshine Hours 

The sun usually rises early at 5:10 - 5:12 and sets late at 19:24 - 19:33 in June, thus offering the longest daylight hours throughout the year, over 14 hours on average per day. But because rainy and cloudy days dominate the whole month, the daily sunshine duration averages only 5 hours. 

Though sunny days are not common in June, once they appear, the maximum UV Index can reach as high as 10, meaning that you get sunburned easily. Plus, even the UV rays of overcast and rainy conditions remain high, so sun-protective items including sunblock and sun hats are still important during this month.

 Footwear: Slip-resistant and waterproof walking shoes are indispensable, paired with breathable ankle socks. 

 Accessories: Rain gear should be at the top of your packing list, and a small bottle of water-resistant spray can keep your clothes as dry as possible on rainy days without reducing their breathability. For those sweating easily, antiperspirant products and a handkerchief are highly recommended.
