Summary
Full Forecast

Today is unfortunately a poor day for a beach visit to Plage du Veillon. With continuous heavy drizzle and thick cloud cover, you will find it cold and damp rather than relaxing. The maximum air temperature reaches 18.8 °C, while the water remains chilly at 17.9 °C, making it far too cold for swimming. Strong winds combined with rough, choppy waves make the shoreline feel particularly unwelcoming. While the UV Index hits 7.2, the lack of sunshine means you should stay indoors and wait for better conditions.
