Today is unfortunately a poor day for a beach visit to Playa de Los Guardias. The area is currently experiencing active thunderstorms, making the coastline unsafe for any outdoor activities. You should avoid the beach entirely while these conditions persist, as the risk of lightning and heavy downpours is significant.

The sky is completely filled with thick clouds, and the intense UV Index of 8.35 remains a concern even during stormy intervals. Please prioritize your safety and stay indoors until the weather improves and the storm system has fully passed.
