Diani Beach: Weather Today

📅 Thursday, May 7, 2026
Today is an underwhelming day for a beach visit, as persistent light rain and heavy cloud cover will likely keep you away from the sand. While the air temperature remains warm at 28.9 °C and the water is pleasantly inviting at 29.0 °C, the frequent drizzle makes lounging uncomfortable. You should also be cautious of the sun, as the UV Index is 7.6, which is strong enough to cause skin damage even through the clouds. The breeze is noticeable, creating slightly choppy water with waves reaching one meter in height. Given the wet conditions and lack of sunshine, it is best to skip the beach today and save your swimming for when the skies clear up.
