Seepromenade: Weather Today

📅 Thursday, June 18, 2026
Today is a tricky day for a beach trip, as persistent fog and low clouds will likely dampen the atmosphere at the shore. With a maximum air temperature of 27.7 °C, it remains quite warm, but the lack of clear, direct sunlight makes it feel less like a classic summer day. Since the UV index reaches 7.15, you should still wear protection if the clouds break, as those rays can be strong even through a hazy sky. Winds are very light and calm, creating flat conditions on the water. Given the murky visibility and lack of sunshine, it is probably better to save your main beach outing for a day with clearer skies. If you do go, be prepared for damp air and muted light rather than bright, sunny conditions.
