Long Beach: Weather Today

📅 Saturday, April 25, 2026
Today is a challenging day for the beach, so it is best to skip your trip to Long Beach. You will encounter persistent light rain throughout the day, which makes lounging on the sand quite uncomfortable. Although the air temperature reaches 32.7 °C and the water is a warm 29.6 °C, the damp conditions and potential for sudden shifts in the breeze mean it is not ideal for swimming or relaxing. If you do head out, be aware that the UV Index is 7.6, which is strong enough to cause skin damage quickly even through the clouds. With the combination of wet weather and unpredictable winds, it is safer to plan your coastal outing for another time when the skies are clear and the conditions are more stable.
