Duna di Capratica: Weather Today

📅 Thursday, May 14, 2026
Today is a poor day for a beach visit, and it is best to avoid the shore entirely. You should stay away from the coast as thunderstorms are expected to develop, accompanied by frequent rain that will make outdoor time unpleasant. The water is quite cool at 19.0 °C and combined with rough, choppy waves, it is definitely not suitable for swimming. While the air temperature will reach 18.9 °C, the overall conditions are unstable and windy. If you do head out, be aware that the sun is strong with a UV Index of 6.3, even through the clouds. Given the storm risk and choppy water, it is simply not a safe or enjoyable day for any seaside activities.
