Paralia Koloumpo: Weather Today

📅 Friday, April 24, 2026
Today is unfortunately a poor day for a beach visit to Paralia Koloumpo. With light rain falling throughout the day and the sky blanketed by thick clouds, you will find little opportunity to enjoy the sun. The air temperature will reach a cool 16.6 °C, and with the sea temperature sitting at 17.7 °C, the water is far too cold for swimming. You should also expect breezy conditions that will make lounging on the shore quite uncomfortable. While the UV Index is 7, the heavy cloud cover means you will not get much benefit from the sun, and the overall damp environment makes this a day best spent indoors rather than by the coast.
