Playa del Holy: Weather Today

📅 Friday, July 24, 2026
Today is definitely not the day to head to Playa del Holy, as poor weather conditions make a beach trip unsafe and unpleasant. A significant thunderstorm is expected to move through the area, bringing along a risk of hail that poses a direct threat to anyone outdoors. Even when the skies are not actively pouring, you will face turbulent conditions that are far from ideal for relaxing. With the maximum air temperature hitting 33.4 °C and a very high UV index of 8.4, the sun remains intense, but the stormy weather combined with choppy waves makes swimming dangerous. Please avoid the water and postpone your beach plans until the sky clears and the environment settles down. Your safety is the priority, so it is best to stay indoors while this weather system passes.
