Baan Tai Beach: Weather Today

📅 Friday, July 24, 2026
Today is an ideal day to skip the beach, as persistent drizzle and heavy clouds are expected to dampen outdoor plans throughout the day. With a high air temperature of 30.8 °C and a sea temperature of 31.1 °C, it remains quite warm, but the combination of rain and brisk winds makes for an uncomfortable experience by the water. You should exercise caution if you head out, as strong winds are creating choppy conditions along the shoreline. Please take care if you are spending time outdoors today, as the UV Index is reaching 8.6, which means strong sun exposure is possible even through the cloud cover. Given the unstable conditions, you might find it much more pleasant to enjoy indoor activities while waiting for better weather to return to the coast.
