Kathara Beach: Weather Today

📅 Friday, July 24, 2026
Today at Kathara Beach, expect a mixed bag where the brilliant sunshine makes for a tempting day out, but the intense wind creates challenging conditions for those hoping for a relaxing time by the water. With a maximum air temperature of 29.6 °C and a sea temperature of 25.7 °C, the water is certainly pleasant for swimming, though you should be prepared for the noticeable wave action. The strong, steady breeze and even stronger blasts may make setting up an umbrella or towel difficult, so keep your belongings secure. Since the UV Index is 8, ensure you have strong protection against the sun throughout the afternoon. While the skies remain clear and inviting, the blustery nature of the day means it might be better suited for active beachgoers than those looking for a calm, still environment.
