Hi Gary,
The temperature in mid June in Lhasa is about 9 degrees (48F) as the lowest temperature and 23 degrees (73F) as the highest temperature. If you go out of Lhasa and visit other cities westwards, a cooler climate is expected (the temperature would drop 2-6 degrees). It seldom rains in Lhasa, an average rainfall in June is around 0.04 in/1 mm.
From my experience, the weather itself is not the biggest concern, the altitude is. I am glad to share some tips with you, besides, suncream, sunglasses and hats are necessary for the tour.
Tips to avoid Acute Mountain Sickness,however a more important note is that customers with heart attack or hypertension should not visit Tibet,
- Do exercises to keep you fit before coming to Tibet.
- Avoid catching a cold.
- Make sure you have a good sleep the night before you fly to Lhasa.
- You'd better not to take any activities for the first day in Tibet.
- After getting off your airplane in the airport, walk slowly, drink slowly, take some deep breath. Do not do anything severely.
- Ascend to higher altitude gradually. DO NOT ASCEND ANY HIGHER if you feel bad.
- Prepare some AMS pills according to your doctor's suggestion, vitamin B and C can make you feel better sooner.
-The hotels out of Lhasa are simple in food and facilities, be well prepared.
-Once you get out of Lhasa city, toilets are not available, sometimes a toilet is just a hole on the ground or behind bushes or rocks.
