📅 Thursday, July 2, 2026
Today offers a mixed experience at the beach, making it a day better suited for relaxing on the sand rather than taking a dip in the water. While the sun will shine through the scattered clouds, the strong winds and choppy waves create a restless atmosphere. The water remains quite chilly, so it is not suitable for swimming. If you plan to spend time outdoors, keep in mind that the sun is strong, with a UV Index of 7.9, so remember to wear protection. The air temperature will reach 23.1 °C, which is pleasant, but the frequent powerful winds might make lounging feel a bit turbulent. Enjoy the scenic coastal views, but exercise caution near the shoreline due to the rough sea conditions.
