You will encounter plenty of clouds throughout the day, though the sun will still peek through at times. Be mindful of the strong breeze, which will make the air feel much cooler than the thermometer suggests. Given the high UV Index of 7.35, remember that the sun remains strong even through the cloud cover, so protection is essential if you spend time outdoors. The waves are moderate, adding to the restless feel of the shoreline today.
