Ao Sai Beach: Weather Today

📅 Thursday, July 16, 2026
Today offers a rather disappointing beach experience at Ao Sai Beach, as consistent light drizzle and significant cloud cover will dominate the day. While the air temperature remains warm at 29.3 °C and the water temperature is a pleasant 30.3 °C, the lack of sun makes for an underwhelming outing. A moderate breeze creates some movement on the water, but the small waves are generally manageable. Due to the high cloud cover, the sun remains strong with a UV Index of 8.3, so even on a gray day, you must protect your skin. Given the intermittent rain and lack of clear skies, it is probably best to find indoor alternatives today rather than heading to the coast for a traditional beach trip.
