Summer Escapes: Where to Find the Heat This Summer!

Are you dreaming of sunshine as the weather remains unpredictable? Planning ahead for that perfect summer getaway means finding destinations that offer not just heat, but unforgettable experiences without overwhelming crowds.

Whether you're looking for a quick European break or an exotic long-haul adventure, here's our guide to where you can soak up the sun during the early summer months.

May/June: Perfect Pre-Season Warmth

Egypt (32°C)

May & June brings temperatures around 32°C to Egypt, with the advantage of fewer tourists at iconic sites. Cairo offers a fascinating blend of ancient wonders and modern city life, with the Giza pyramid complex just a short trip away. For a more European feel, visit Alexandria with its Mediterranean charm, or head to Hurghada to enjoy white sandy beaches and diving in the crystal-clear Red Sea. The warm but not yet scorching temperatures make it an ideal time to explore Egypt's architectural treasures and natural beauty.

Malta (24°C)

With comfortable daytime temperatures of 24°C, Malta provides the perfect climate for exploring its megalithic temples, historic fortresses and charming towns. The crystal-clear Mediterranean waters make it perfect for diving among reefs and shipwrecks, while the local cuisine offers a delightful fusion of Mediterranean flavours.

Travel tip: When shipping luggage to Mediterranean destinations, remember that diving equipment doesn't need to weigh you down at the airport. We handle your luggage while you enjoy stress-free travel.

June: Embracing Early Summer

Croatia (27°C)

With 1,800km of spectacular Adriatic coastline and temperatures around 27°C, June is perfect for exploring Croatia. Dubrovnik's historic limestone walls, Zagreb's vibrant cultural scene, and Rovinj's picturesque Venetian-era architecture offer something for every traveller. The comfortable temperatures make it ideal for exploring Croatia's diverse landscapes.

Sweden (21°C)

While not scorching, Sweden's pleasant 21°C June temperatures make it perfect for exploration. Experience the magical Midsummer festival, visit Stockholm's beautifully preserved old district, or explore Gothenburg's Dutch-style canals. Nature lovers will appreciate the 24-hour daylight in northern areas like Abisko National Park, perfect for spotting arctic wildlife.

Packing tip: For multi-destination European trips, excess baggage charges can quickly add up. Send My Bag's service means you can pack for varying climates without luggage limitations weighing you down.

July: Peak Summer Getaways

Seychelles (28°C)

July brings ideal conditions to this island paradise, with consistent 28°C temperatures and minimal rainfall. Visit La Digue island for a car-free experience and local charm, or explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve. Don't miss Anse Source d'Argent, one of the world's most photographed beaches.

Bulgaria (28°C)

Bulgaria's Black Sea Coast offers a fantastic alternative to more crowded European destinations, with temperatures reaching 28°C. Explore Sofia's cultural landmarks, visit Europe's oldest continuously inhabited city Plovdiv, or relax on stunning beaches. With lower prices than many Mediterranean hotspots, Bulgaria delivers excellent value for summer travellers.

Antigua (30°C)

With 365 beaches to choose from and temperatures around 30°C, Antigua promises a perfect Caribbean summer. Visit the historic Nelson's Dockyard, relax on Dickenson Bay, or explore natural wonders like Devil's Bridge National Park.
