Coson: Weather Today

📅 Tuesday, April 7, 2026
Today is not a suitable day for a trip to the beach due to unstable weather conditions. You should expect active thunderstorms throughout the day, which makes staying outdoors unsafe. While the air temperature will reach 31.4 °C and the water is quite warm at 27.7 °C, the presence of storms and choppy waves makes swimming and lounging on the sand risky. The UV index is high at 8.35, so even with significant cloud cover, the sun remains intense. Frequent rain showers and brisk, shifting winds will disrupt any plans for relaxation by the shore. It is best to avoid the coastline entirely until the weather clears up and the storm activity passes.
