Quercetano Bay: Weather Today

📅 Thursday, May 14, 2026
Today is a poor day for visiting Quercetano Bay, so it is best to skip your beach plans. The weather is unsettled with passing light showers and heavy cloud cover throughout the day. You will face very strong, blustery winds that make relaxing on the sand uncomfortable. The water is quite rough with high, choppy waves, and given the cool sea temperature of 18.2 °C, swimming is not recommended. If you do head out, be aware that the sun is quite strong with a UV Index of 7.1, so protection is necessary despite the gloomy conditions. With the maximum air temperature reaching only 19.8 °C, it will feel rather chilly, especially when the wind picks up. Please prioritize your safety and stay away from the shoreline until conditions improve.
