Keem Bay: Weather Today

📅 Thursday, April 16, 2026
Today is certainly not a day for the beach, and it is best to avoid the coast entirely. The weather is very poor, characterized by persistent heavy drizzle and thick cloud cover that blocks out any warmth. Strong winds are whipping across the shore, creating rough and dangerous conditions with very high, crashing waves that make the water extremely hazardous. With a maximum air temperature of 10.3 °C and a sea temperature of 9.5 °C, it is far too cold to consider entering the water. Please stay safe and keep away from the shoreline until these harsh conditions pass, as the combination of high winds and choppy seas makes this an unsuitable environment for any outdoor seaside activities.
