Kalim Beach: Weather Today

📅 Saturday, April 25, 2026
Today is a challenging day for a beach visit, so you might want to rethink your plans. While the air temperature will reach 32.2 °C and the water is a warm 31.5 °C, the weather is quite unsettled. Expect light, lingering rain throughout the day that will likely dampen your time on the sand. The sky remains largely obscured by clouds, though the sun will still be strong enough to pose a risk, with a UV Index of 9.1, so please be careful even if it looks gloomy. Winds are picking up, creating some choppy conditions near the shore, which makes swimming less than ideal. Given the combination of rain and unstable conditions, it is not a great day for relaxing by the water.
