Paralia Arvanitias: Weather Today

📅 Friday, May 22, 2026
Today is a mediocre day for a beach visit, as the conditions are quite unsettled. You can expect passing showers throughout the day, so it is best to keep an eye on the sky if you head down to the shore. While the air temperature will reach 26.6 °C, the frequent cloud cover will likely limit your time soaking up the sun. Please be mindful that the UV Index is 6.7, meaning sun protection is essential despite the clouds. The water remains quite brisk at 20.7 °C, making it too cold for a comfortable swim. Winds are generally light, though you might feel some sudden breezes from time to time. Overall, it is probably a better day for a casual stroll along the coast rather than a full afternoon of lounging.
