Weymouth Beach: Weather Today

📅 Monday, September 7, 2026
Today is a rather underwhelming day for a trip to Weymouth Beach, so you might want to reconsider your plans. The skies are quite grey and thick with clouds, accompanied by a light, persistent drizzle that makes lounging on the sand fairly uncomfortable. With air temperatures reaching 21.7 °C, it remains mild, but the conditions are definitely not ideal for sunbathing. The breeze is quite strong, making the air feel cooler than it is, and the choppy waves are creating a rough surface on the water. Given that the sea temperature is only 18.3 °C, the water is far too cold for a comfortable swim. It is best to save your beach day for when the skies clear and the winds settle down.
