Today is a mediocre day for a beach visit, as conditions are quite unsettled. You should be prepared for brief passing showers throughout the day, so keep an eye on the sky if you head down to the coast. While there will be some pleasant sunshine breaking through the clouds, the air temperature remains cool at 19.8 °C. The sea is currently too chilly for swimming at 18.0 °C, and the water has a noticeable chop, making it better suited for a walk along the shore than a dip. With a UV Index of 7.35, remember that the sun is quite strong even when it feels cool, so protection is essential. A light breeze is blowing, adding to the brisk feel of the day. It is definitely not ideal for lounging.
