While the sky will remain mostly clear and sunny, the air temperature of 19.7 °C feels quite brisk, making it rather chilly for traditional sunbathing. With the sea temperature sitting at 16.9 °C, the water is far too cold for swimming.

It is a peaceful day to enjoy the coastal views, but keep your layers handy.
