While the sun may occasionally break through the clouds, the UV Index is 7.35, so exercise caution if you are outdoors. A persistent breeze is blowing along the shoreline, adding a chill to the air. Given the combination of low temperatures and poor visibility, it is best to skip the beach today and plan your visit for a clearer, warmer afternoon.
