📅 Saturday, May 16, 2026
Today is a challenging day for a trip to Cannatello Beach, and it is best to skip your beach plans. The area is currently blanketed in thick fog, creating poor visibility and a gloomy atmosphere that persists throughout the day. With strong winds whipping across the shore and choppy, rough waves, the water is definitely not suitable for swimming, especially given that the sea temperature is quite chilly at 18.5 °C. The air temperature will reach a maximum of 21.2 °C, but the combination of damp conditions and blustery winds will make it feel much cooler. If you do head out, please be aware that the UV Index is high at 8.35, so protection is necessary even through the haze.
