Sandymouth: Weather Today

📅 Tuesday, June 9, 2026
Today is certainly not an ideal day for a trip to the beach, so you might want to postpone your coastal plans. Persistent light rain is expected throughout the day, creating a damp and chilly atmosphere. With a maximum air temperature of 14.2 °C and a sea temperature of 14.7 °C, the water is far too cold for swimming. Strong winds combined with significant wave heights of 2.4 m will make the shoreline quite rough and potentially hazardous, so please stay a safe distance from the water's edge. Even though the sun may occasionally break through the heavy clouds, the UV Index of 6.25 means you should still be mindful of skin protection if you venture out. It is better to find indoor activities today while waiting for calmer conditions.
