Kato Petres Beach: Weather Today

📅 Saturday, April 25, 2026
Today offers a very mixed and rather cool experience at Kato Petres Beach, making it a challenging day for a traditional seaside visit. With the sky blanketed in thick clouds, you will find very little direct sun, though the UV index is high at 6.2, so protection remains essential. The air temperature will reach 20.4 °C, which feels quite mild, and the sea temperature is currently 18.8 °C, meaning the water is too cold for comfortable swimming. While the waves are calm, the breeze can pick up suddenly, creating an uneven feel throughout the day. Given the limited warmth and the potential for light, passing showers, it is not an ideal day for sunbathing or spending long hours by the shore. Keep your plans flexible if you decide to head out.
