Half Moon: Weather Today

📅 Friday, July 24, 2026
Today is an extremely challenging day for a beach visit due to intense, dangerous heat that makes staying outdoors for extended periods risky. With a maximum air temperature reaching 47.2 °C, the conditions are far beyond comfortable for sunbathing or relaxing on the sand. The sky will remain completely clear and sunny, which only compounds the harshness of the sun. The UV index is very high at 8.15, so extreme caution is necessary if you must be outside. While the sea temperature is 32.5 °C and the water is calm with very light waves, the excessive heat on land is the primary concern. Please prioritize your safety, stay hydrated, seek shade immediately, and consider rescheduling your beach outing for a much cooler day.
