Makronissos: Weather Today

📅 Tuesday, March 31, 2026
Today is an average day at the beach, best suited for a relaxing stroll along the shore rather than a full day of swimming. While the sun will make appearances throughout the day, the air temperature reaching 19 °C feels quite brisk, and the water at 18.0 °C is far too cold for a comfortable dip. You can expect a noticeable breeze coming off the water, which may create some chop on the surface, making the sea appear lively rather than calm. If you plan to spend time outdoors, keep in mind that the UV Index is 7.05, so ensure you protect your skin even when clouds are drifting by. It is a lovely day to enjoy the coastal views and fresh air, but keep a light jacket handy.
