Hemmick: Weather Today

📅 Friday, July 24, 2026
Today offers a generally fair day for a trip to the coast, though it is better suited for a scenic walk than a full day in the water. While there is plenty of sunshine to enjoy, the brisk breeze across the shoreline will make it feel quite fresh, so you might want to bring an extra layer to stay comfortable. The water remains a bit brisk at 20.3 °C, so it is not quite warm enough for a comfortable swim today. With a UV Index of 6.15, make sure to apply sun protection during the middle of the day. The air will reach a pleasant 24.8 °C, providing a lovely backdrop for relaxing on the sand while watching the calm, gentle waves.
