Apart from these, the natural beauty that blesses the continent comes in all forms, from the heights of Himalayas, to the biggest cave on the planet in Vietnam, from expansive beaches of Krabi to winter wonderlands in Russia, from desert safaris in Dubai, to metropolitan holidays in Singapore, there is no dearth of experiences for tourists in Asia.
While there is no best time to visit the continent, as the weather varies drastically between countries and regions; the summer months of May, June, and July see the highest amount of tourist activity in Asia.
If you too, are planning a holiday in June, this article will tell you everything you need to know in order to have a gala time at one of the many destinations in Asia.
Weather In June In Asia
By June, a lot of countries start experiencing their first monsoon showers of the year. Thanks to this, the tourist crowds start thinning in these areas. However, since the monsoon is only in its initial stages, the intensity and frequency of showers is quite low and manageable in countries like Vietnam, Cambodia, India, Thailand, Sri Lanka, and Laos.
With a bit of planning and research it is possible to visit these countries on a budget without compromising on the experience or a planned itinerary. Not to forget, with fewer crowds, your experience may well be better than a peak season experience in some extremely popular tourist destinations.
As some Asian countries struggle with rains, there are others that experience their best weather in June. Countries like Borneo, Indonesia, South Korea attract some delightful weather during June and as a result, are extremely popular among tourists during this time of the year.
Perfect for beach bums or for lovers of rich culture, these countries offer a host of summer-only experiences that you can’t afford to miss during a June holiday.
