Notos Beach: Weather Today

📅 Friday, April 24, 2026
Today is an underwhelming day for a beach visit, as the morning is dominated by thick fog that obscures the view and keeps the air feeling quite chilly. With a maximum air temperature of 17.3 °C, it is far too cold for sunbathing or relaxing on the sand. The sea temperature is currently 15.5 °C, which is far too cold for swimming. While the wind remains light, the overall atmosphere is damp and grey, making it a poor choice for any outdoor coastal activities. If you are planning to head out, be aware that the UV Index is 7.1, so protection is still necessary despite the lack of direct sunshine. It is best to save your beach trip for a warmer, clearer day.
