📅 Friday, July 24, 2026
Today offers a mixed experience for beachgoers, leaning towards an average day that requires a bit of extra attention to the conditions. While the air temperature remains very warm at 32.2 °C and the sea is pleasant for swimming at 24.5 °C, you should be prepared for sudden changes. Winds are picking up significantly throughout the day, creating some choppiness in the water and making it feel quite breezy on the sand. With the UV Index reaching 7.3, remember to reapply sunscreen frequently to protect yourself during your stay. Because there is a high likelihood of passing showers, keep an eye on the sky and consider having a plan B if the weather turns. It is a day best suited for those who don't mind a bit of wind and shifting clouds.
