Soar Mill Cove: Weather Today

📅 Tuesday, June 9, 2026
Today is not a suitable day for a trip to the beach, so you are better off staying indoors. Persistent light rain is expected throughout the day, creating damp and gloomy conditions that are far from ideal for relaxing by the coast. The air temperature will reach a cool 14.6 °C, and with the sea temperature sitting at a chilly 13.0 °C, the water is much too cold for swimming. Strong, blustery winds are whipping up choppy waves reaching 1.6 m, making the shoreline quite turbulent. With a UV Index of 6.4, the sun is still quite strong despite the heavy cloud cover, so keep that in mind if you are venturing out. Please exercise caution if you are near the cliffs or water's edge, as the combination of wind and waves makes for rough conditions.
