Limani Beach: Weather Today

📅 Friday, April 24, 2026
Today is a poor day for a visit to Limani Beach, as the conditions are quite unsettled and not suited for outdoor relaxation. You can expect persistent rain throughout the day, keeping the skies completely grey and the atmosphere damp. With a maximum air temperature of 14.5 °C and a sea temperature of 17.9 °C, the water is far too chilly for swimming or any comfortable aquatic activities. The breeze is noticeable, creating slightly choppy water conditions that make the shoreline uninviting. Given the continuous rain and the lack of sunshine, it is best to skip the beach today and plan your outing for a time when the skies are clear and the temperatures are much warmer.
