Thunderstorms are expected throughout the day, bringing rain that will likely ruin any outdoor relaxation. The sky is completely filled with thick clouds, blocking out the sun entirely. While the air temperature will reach 32.8 °C and the water temperature is 30.2 °C, the unsettled weather and potential for lightning make the beach unsafe.

Given the high chance of heavy downpours and stormy activity, please stay clear of the shoreline until conditions improve and the weather stabilizes.
