Playa Sur CelestĂșn: Weather Today

📅 Thursday, May 14, 2026
Today is a challenging day for a beach visit, as persistent light rain is expected throughout the day. While the air temperature will reach 30.6 °C and the water is warm at 30.1 °C, the frequent drizzle and sudden strong winds make for an uncomfortable experience on the sand. You should be aware that the UV Index is high at 8, meaning you will need strong sun protection even through the clouds. The sea conditions are somewhat choppy with noticeable waves, which may not be ideal for a relaxing swim. Given the combination of wet weather and shifting winds, it is best to plan your beach trip for another time when conditions are more stable and dry.
