Today is a mixed day for the beach, offering pleasant air temperatures but challenging conditions for those hoping for a relaxing time by the water. With a maximum air temperature of 22.5 °C, it feels quite mild, though the constant presence of clouds and a noticeable breeze will keep things feeling cooler.

While you might enjoy a walk along the shore, the wind is strong enough to be bothersome. If you do head out, remember that the sun remains strong with a UV Index of 7.2, so please protect your skin despite the cloudy sky.
