Weymouth Beach: Weather Today

📅 Monday, June 8, 2026
Today is certainly not an ideal day for a trip to the beach, so you might want to postpone your seaside plans. Frequent moderate rain is expected throughout the day, making conditions quite wet and unpleasant for any outdoor activities. You will also experience brisk, blustery winds that could make the sand feel quite cold, and the waves are looking rather choppy. The air temperature is peaking at 16.7 °C, while the water remains a very chilly 13.6 °C, making the sea unsuitable for swimming. With a UV Index of 6.05, you should still be mindful of the sun if the clouds break, but the overall atmosphere is damp, gray, and far from the comfortable beach weather you would hope for.
