Alona: Weather Today

📅 Monday, September 7, 2026
Today at Alona Beach offers a mix of conditions that make for a rather unsettled beach experience. While the temperatures are quite warm at 32.5 °C and the sea is comfortable for swimming at 29.7 °C, the occasional light drizzle might briefly interrupt your time on the sand. You will notice a noticeable breeze blowing throughout the day, which keeps things from feeling stagnant but can make items on your towel flutter. The clouds are playing hide and seek with the sun, so be mindful that the UV Index of 9.15 remains very high, necessitating strong sun protection even when the sky appears shaded. The waves are gentle, keeping the water calm enough for a relaxing dip between the scattered clouds and light rain showers.
