Most of the time, you will feel warmer than the actual temperature thanks to the bright sunshine.
After sunset, temperatures drop sharply to around 10-15°C (50-59°F), and it feels noticeably cooler, though most of the time you won’t feel very cold. Therefore, it’s important to dress warmly when going out in the early morning and evening during your Lhasa trip in June to avoid catching a cold.
June marks the beginning of the rainy season of Lhasa, with an average rainfall of 71 mm across around 14 rainy days. Will your travel experience be terrible due to frequent rain in June? Not really. The rain this month, whether light or heavy, usually takes place in the evening. As for the daytime, it is nearly always sunny with perfect sunshine.
With the humidity increasing to 51% on average, the air is only a little dry.
In June, the sun rises early and sets late, with daylight lasting for around 14 hours. You can take your time exploring and fully immersing yourself in Lhasa without worrying about running out of warm daytime. Additionally, the entire city basks in abundant sunlight this month: on average, there are about 8 hours of sunshine per day.
In this high-altitude region with thin cloud cover, UV rays are particularly intense. This month, the UV index reaches 11+ almost every day. Therefore, sun protection is of the utmost importance, especially between 11:00 and 16:00, when the sun is at its strongest.
Clothing: To stay comfortable throughout your trip, it’s important to be aware of the significant temperature difference between day and night. So you are recommended to pack clothes of varying thicknesses so you can adjust your outfit as needed.
During the warm daytime, you can wear summer clothing. For example, males can wear short-sleeve T-shirts with lightweight pants, while females can wear long dresses. On top of these, wear a sun-protective jacket. Please note: You are not very recommended to bring shorts or short skirts, as they will make you too exposed to the sun and are not permitted when visiting temples such as the Jokhang Temple. Then, in the evening, a short- or long-sleeved T-shirt, sweatpants, plus a denim jacket, trench jacket, or windbreaker are more suitable and comfortable.
You are also advised to prepare a 3-in-1 jacket. On the one side, the temperature tends to be slightly lower on rainy days; on the other side, you may visit surrounding areas with higher altitudes and stronger winds, where the temperatures are also lower than in the urban area.
Shoes: Comfortable and non-slip sneakers are the best.

Also, be sure to apply high-SPF sunscreen generously and evenly during your outdoor visits.
2. Although rain is more common at night, it is always safer to bring an umbrella.

(2) Zongjiao Lukang Park: Located at the foot of the Potala Palace, this is a great spot for locals and tourists alike to relax. In summer, the park is lined with weeping willows and lush greenery. You can also row a boat and enjoy some leisurely time.
(3) Lalu Wetland: In June, the wetland is rich in aquatic plants, with leaping fish and chirping insects, making it an excellent place for birdwatching and experiencing the high-altitude ecosystem.
June is also the time that the locals celebrate Linka Festival, when they dress in festive costumes, set up camp in Linka, that is, parks or gardens, and sing and dance around the campfire. The festival isn’t limited to a single day: nearly the entire summer is a season of celebration. In other words, when you visit above parks in June, you are very likely to encounter locals enjoying the summer, providing you with a good opportunity to integrate into locals’ life.
3. This month, the lakes around Lhasa are also particularly beautiful. The waters of Yamdrok Lake are crystal-clear and blue, contrasting beautifully with the blue sky and white clouds. Meanwhile, the ice on Namtso Lake has completely melted, revealing its deep blue waters. The grasslands along the shores are turning green, and wildflowers are in full bloom.
A little bit. Entering June, as the climate of Lhasa turns warmer and the trees and grasses gradually turn green, Lhasa welcomes more and more visitors. But don’t worry, most of the time, you don’t need to wait in line, even for famous attractions like the Potala Palace.
Note: The Dragon Boat Festival usually falls in June. During the festival period, Lhasa will see an increase in tourist numbers, which may lead to not-very-good travel experiences. So, try to avoid visiting the city during this period. In 2026, the festival falls from June 19 to 21.
1. Be sure to make early planning for your Lhasa trips in June, a somewhat welcome season.
2. Don’t underestimate the temperature differences between day and night or across different regions, and be sure to always have warm clothes on hand to guard against catching a cold.

Besides, though the city is already warm in June, you are recommended to drink hot water frequently, instead of cold water in case of any discomfort.
