Haitang Bay: Weather Today

📅 Sunday, August 2, 2026
Today is a poor day for a beach trip to Haitang Bay due to the high risk of thunderstorms. With the sky almost completely covered by clouds and significant rainfall expected, outdoor plans should be put on hold for safety. The air temperature will reach a warm 31.7 °C, and while the sea remains at a comfortable 29.0 °C, the current storm conditions make entering the water dangerous. If the skies clear later, be aware that the UV Index is 6, so adequate sun protection is essential even through the clouds. Overall, the combination of incoming weather activity and unsettled conditions makes this a day best spent indoors rather than on the sand.
