Rijeka Beach: Weather Today

📅 Sunday, July 26, 2026
Today is a poor choice for a beach day in Rijeka as unstable conditions are expected throughout the area. Frequent bursts of rain and potential thunderstorms mean you should keep your plans flexible and stay close to shelter. Winds are picking up, creating choppy conditions near the shore, and the sky will remain largely filled with clouds. If you do head out, please be cautious of lightning and shifting weather patterns, as conditions can change rapidly. With a maximum air temperature of 28.2 °C and a sea temperature of 25.2 °C, the water is warm, but the stormy atmosphere and active waves make it better suited for watching the sea from a safe distance rather than swimming. Remember to take care, as the UV Index of 7.35 remains high even through the cloud cover.
