Summary
Full Forecast

Today is a mediocre day for a visit to Kohilari Beach, as the conditions remain quite unsettled. You should expect light rain showers throughout the day, which will likely keep the sand damp and make sunbathing less than ideal. The sky will remain mostly filled with clouds, though the sun will still be strong enough to require protection, as the UV Index is 7.75. While the breeze is moderate, it may feel a bit brisk at times. The water is currently too cold for a comfortable swim at 19.7 °C, and the waves are noticeable, making the sea better suited for watching than entering. With a high air temperature of 21.4 °C, it is best to pack a light jacket and perhaps plan for indoor activities instead of a full day on the shore.
