With the UK’s weather forecast looking particularly bleak over the next few days, many Britons are looking to jet off to a sunny destination to avoid the downpours.
But where can you jet off to right now that’s guaranteed to be hot in June?
While Spanish destinations tend to be the most popular, there are some sunny spots in other parts of Europe including Croatia, Malta and Greece.
Budget airline Ryanair has shared 10 destinations that are guaranteed to be hot this month.
Even better, these destinations are just a few hours from the UK and won’t cost you a fortune to fly there.
10. Malta
If you’re looking for an unforgettable trip to a pretty island then there’s nowhere better than Malta. Not only is it three and a half hours from the UK but it was voted the best diving destination in Europe thanks to its clear azure waters and white sandy beaches.
In June, temperatures average a balmy 25C with 13 hours of sunshine each day. Some highlights to visit in Malta include Mellieha Bay, Comino’s Blue Lagoon and the Megalithic Temples which date back to between 3600 BC and 700 BC.
Travellers can bag a one-way flight for around £20 with Ryanair this month from Liverpool, London Luton and London Stansted.
