📅 Tuesday, May 19, 2026
Today is an underwhelming day for a beach visit, as conditions at La Pazzona remain quite unsettled. You can expect frequent light rain showers throughout the day, accompanied by a thick layer of clouds that will keep the sun mostly hidden. While the breeze is moderate, the overall atmosphere feels cool and damp rather than inviting. With a maximum air temperature of 20.1 °C and a chilly sea temperature of 18.0 °C, the water is far too cold for comfortable swimming. If you do head out, be mindful that the sun can still be quite strong despite the clouds, as the UV Index is reaching 7.75. Given the combination of rain and low water temperatures, it is best to plan your activities for another time when the weather is more favorable.
