Rijeka Beach: Weather Today

📅 Wednesday, July 22, 2026
Today is unfortunately not a great day for a trip to the beach, so you are better off making other plans. The weather is quite unsettled with frequent bouts of rain expected throughout the day, making it difficult to enjoy any time on the sand. While the air temperature will reach 31 °C and the water remains a warm 27.0 °C, the damp conditions and inconsistent sky make for a poor beach experience. If you do head out, expect breezy conditions that could make lounging uncomfortable. Because the UV Index is hitting 7.45, you should still be cautious of the sun despite the clouds and rain. The sea itself is quite calm, but the weather simply does not cooperate for a typical day of swimming or relaxing by the shore.
