Im boarding on the msWesterdam on 5/31 in venice.

What is the weather supposed to be like in June in the Med. Countries, ie. Italy, Spain, France, UK, etc..

We are from Texas and are used to wearing shorts because its already 90 degrees here by then. Any suggestions for clothing for during the day when doing shore excurions..

Thanks..

Dear Jeff

ÃÂn case of your cruise stops in Kusadasi or ÃÂstanbul please keep in mind that this areas will be warm 90 to 100 F.
You can easily wear shorts.
But if you are visiting a mosque in ÃÂstanbul you need something proper.

If you want everyone to know you are American, wear shorts and gym shoes:) Europeans do not for the most part wear shorts. Women wear skirts and men cacky pants. They dress up more than we do, I don't believe it will be 90 though, usually Europe sizzles in late july and August. I toured France, Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, and Amsterdam tour years ago June and it wasnt like
Texas hot. The more south you head in Italy and Spain, the hotter it becomes. Madrid and Barcelona will be probably 80 something. London is wierd and rains all the time so who knows. Check the extended forecast before you go.

I travelled around France and Spain with two boys from Austin Texas, and who never went out without their cowboy hats. We turned many heads, especially in Paris. But people smiled when we went by, I think the French are more likable than we think. Two models even directed them to our hotel when they were totally lost, so dressing southern style may work to your advantage. So I guess dress as you see fit, and if you don't want to gain attention, dress like a European. have fun though first and foremost!

Did like the description of "cacky pants" In the UK to cack is another term for going to number 2's, I think the term you were after was Khaki pants.
I laughed my socks off!!
