Weather in Kingston upon Hull in June

A good month. June works. It is not the peak, but nothing about it fights you. Highs average 18.9 °C, lows 9.9 °C, and rain falls on 13 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

June ranks 3 of 12 in Kingston upon Hull. Only September scores clearly higher, and the difference is small enough to be settled by price rather than weather.

Rain on 13 days, 2 of them heavy. Enough to need a plan B, not enough to need a plan around it. Nothing specialised needed — this is the month you pack for the trip rather than for the weather.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: it never really gets hot: not one day in an average June reaches 30 °C. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest June day reached 28.1 °C and the coldest night fell to 3.4 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 43 mm — roughly 57% of the month's rain in one day.

June is moderately variable: 24 mm in the driest year against 165 mm in the wettest, around an average of 75 mm. Roughly two Junes in three land near that average, and the third does something else entirely.

Wind is light at 10.5 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity runs at 81%, high enough to notice on the warm days without dominating them.

How June sits in the year

The month is on the way up: 2.8 °C warmer than May, and July adds another 2.1 °C. Late in the month feels noticeably different from the start of it, which is worth knowing if the trip is short.

Daylight in June

June is at or near the longest days of Kingston upon Hull's year: 17 hours of daylight, gaining 0.4 hours across the month. Evenings are the real gain — dinner outdoors still happens in full light.

Sea temperature

The sea sits at about 12.3 °C in June — too cold to swim without a wetsuit. The sea peaks at 15.8 °C in August and bottoms out at 6.5 °C — water lags the air by a month or two, which is why the best swimming often comes after the best weather.

How busy it gets

Peak season. Expect the highest prices of the year and to be booking well ahead.

Crowd levels are estimated from climate desirability and school-holiday calendars, not from visitor numbers.

June in Kingston upon Hull versus nearby

If Kingston upon Hull is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Manchester is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 2 days more rain. Birmingham is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, the same number of rain days.

So: June is effectively as good as it gets here — 5 points behind September, which is inside the margin where the weather stops being the deciding factor and price starts being it.
