📅 Thursday, July 23, 2026
Today is a challenging day for a trip to the beach, so you might want to rethink your plans. Frequent light drizzle and persistent grey skies make for a gloomy atmosphere that is far from ideal for lounging by the water. You will also deal with blustery winds and noticeable choppy waves, making the shore quite restless. While the air temperature will reach 20.6 °C and the water temperature sits at 21.0 °C, the overall conditions are simply too unsettled for a comfortable swim or relaxation. If you do head out, keep in mind that the sun remains strong with a UV Index of 7.65, so protection is essential even through the clouds. Overall, it is best to save your beach day for a time with calmer weather.
