Sardinia in June....

26 replies

Haribosmummy · 08/03/2009 22:10

... How hot is it likely to be?

I'm thinking of treating DH to an early birthday present, as we're expecting baby no. 2 in August, which puts a summer on hold, effectively.

I'd like to take him and DS (who'll be just a year) to the Forte Village... We've been loads of times before, but always in August...

What can I expect of the weather in June?

thanks, HM

Thanks DD - I'll bear that in mind!!!

Of course, I meant a summer holiday - the summer will happen regardless of my pregnancy!!!

We went to Forte Village in September - and it rained for 7 out of 10 days!! Still had a lovely time though.

dizzydixies · 08/03/2009 22:26

(where did you fly from/to then?)

I am happy with this years holiday destination of hell on earth suburbia stuffed into a too small house in nondescript town in Northern Ireland - I am you know

hf128219 · 08/03/2009 22:28

From Luton! Live down south now. You will have a lovely time in Norn Iron. I used to live there too!

Gosh - hf... We've been going there since 2000, with DH's daughters and have NEVER had one bad day there!!

DD - EasyJet fly direct to Sarndinia... It's a lovely place. there are flights from Luton and Edinburgh and (I would guess) most airports with other airlines..

hf128219m I know, I love NI, its just not fecking Sardinia is it now?!?

We went to the Costa Smeralda in June for our honeymoon. It was hot, but not unbearably so. No rain. DD was about 15 months and had a great time in the pool/on the beautiful beaches. It was lovely. I want to go back .....

dizzydixies · 08/03/2009 22:32

easyjet don't have that route

hf128219 · 08/03/2009 22:33

Ryanair are also starting flights to Cagliari in Summer 09 from Edinburgh.

Oh, not sure - it just came up on the Citalia website (flights from Edinburgh?) but I clicked Luton....

Portofino thanks - I was thinking that June might actually be a bit better for DS if it's not quite so hot...

I hate Ryanair with a passion but I may force myself for that

Haribosmummy · 08/03/2009 22:36

remember to bring a quid in case you need the loo, DD!!!!

My parents fly RyanAir all the time (they live 50% in Ireland and 50% in England) and also hate RyanAir with a passion... Doesn't stop them using the airline constantly for the cheap flights though!!!

We've been twice in June and had lovely weather with the odd cloudy or windy day.Evenings cooler.Think a good British summer's day but better beach.

August is much much hotter though.

I prefer June.

francagoestohollywood · 08/03/2009 22:36

Incredibly, June can actually be hotter than August in Italy.
However, Sardinia tends to be windy, therefore it never really gets unbearably hot, unless Scirocco (wind from Northern Africa) arrives...

Go on, go on, go on. You know you want to!

dizzydixies · 09/03/2009 09:43

haribo - we're the same unfortunately as DH from Ireland, my best friend lives just outside Dublin AND my lot in Spain are right next to Girona which is also ryanair from here

I just hate it though

hf128219 - I can just see the conversation

' hello MIL, how are you? whats that you say, holidays? you've got a sofa bed for the girls? well actually we're not coming, we're off to Sardinia but thanks anyway! Oh and btw, can we borrow a couple of grand so we can go? Many thanks '

not sure how thats going to go at all

Nah - Dizzy - while you are going for it, just ask for a couple of grand... No need to offer to pay it back!!!

dizzydixies · 09/03/2009 10:42

very good point

WetAugust · 10/03/2009 18:54

I was there in late Aug / early Sep and the heat was unbearable. Needed a sun hat (first time for me) and light cotton kaftan to cover bare arms otherwise was getting burnt to a crisp!

Can definitely recommend Nora - beautiful location, good beach, interesting ruins and a public loo!

I went in June a couple of years ago for our 10th wedding anniversary. Weather was gorgeous - not a cloud in the sky the whole time. Spent the days sunbathing and evenings in cropped trousers and a t-shirt with a light cardigan for later on.
