Expect intermittent light rain throughout the day, which makes lounging on the sand quite uncomfortable. With a maximum air temperature of 33.2 °C and a UV Index of 9.25, the sun remains strong and dangerous despite the clouds, so take necessary precautions if you are outdoors. The sea is warm at 28.2 °C and generally calm, but the blustery winds and frequent showers make swimming less enjoyable than usual. Given the ongoing drizzle and shifting conditions, you might want to postpone your visit to a day with clearer skies and calmer air. Please stay cautious if you decide to head out, as the weather is quite unpredictable right now.
