Playa Xpu-Ha: Weather Today

📅 Tuesday, June 23, 2026
Today is an unstable and unpredictable day at the beach, making it a poor choice for those hoping to spend time by the water. You should prioritize staying indoors or finding secure shelter, as localized thunderstorms are expected throughout the day. With a high air temperature of 30.9 °C and a sea temperature of 29.6 °C, the conditions remain quite hot, but heavy cloud cover and the high risk of storms dampen the experience significantly. Be mindful of the strong UV index of 8.7, which remains intense even under the thick clouds. Furthermore, the water is becoming choppy with moderate waves, and sudden surges in wind could create uncomfortable surroundings. Please stay alert for changing conditions and avoid the shoreline while the storm activity is present.
