Keem Bay: Weather Today

📅 Thursday, July 16, 2026
Today offers a mix of conditions that make for an average beach day, primarily suited for enjoying the scenery rather than swimming. While the sun will shine brightly throughout the day with clear skies, the air temperature reaching 24.4 °C is quite pleasant for lounging on the sand. However, you should be prepared for noticeable breezes throughout your visit, as the winds will be quite active and strong at times. The water temperature is a chilly 17.6 °C, which is far too cold for comfortable swimming, so it is best to stick to the shoreline. The waves are moderate, adding a rhythmic backdrop to your time by the water. Please keep the wind in mind when setting up your spot on the beach.
