Limanaki Beach: Weather Today

📅 Wednesday, September 16, 2026
Today is an underwhelming day for a visit to Limanaki Beach, as the conditions are quite unsettled. You should expect periods of light showers throughout your time by the water, which will likely keep things damp and cool. The sky will remain mostly blocked by thick clouds, creating a grey atmosphere rather than the usual bright sunshine. While the air temperature reaches 25.9 °C and the water temperature is a warm 26.2 °C, the lack of sun and the threat of rain make this better suited for a quick stroll or a brief dip rather than a full day of lounging on the sand. The sea is relatively calm today, though you should keep an eye on the shifting weather before heading down.
