Chaweng Beach: Weather Today

📅 Saturday, May 2, 2026

Summary
Full Forecast

Today is not a great day for a beach visit, so you might want to postpone your plans. Constant, heavy drizzle is expected throughout the day, and the sky will be thick with clouds, keeping the sun hidden. Despite the air temperature reaching 31.1 °C, the wet conditions make it uncomfortable for lounging on the sand. With a UV Index of 9.05, you should still be cautious of the sun if the clouds break. The sea is warm at 31.4 °C and remains calm with very small waves, but the unsettled weather makes it less than ideal for a relaxing swim. Expect some breezy moments along the shore that may add to the chilly feeling while you are wet. It is best to stay indoors until the rain passes.
