With thick clouds blocking most of the sun and air temperatures reaching 31.1 °C, the environment feels heavy and unstable. While the sea temperature is 29.7 °C and the waves are gentle, the threat of incoming storm activity means you should avoid swimming and stay indoors.

Please prioritize your safety and keep a close eye on the sky, as conditions can change rapidly throughout the day.
