📅 Sunday, May 10, 2026
Today is a poor day for a beach visit, so you might want to postpone your plans. While the air temperature reaches 20.9 °C, light rain is expected throughout the day, making it quite unsuitable for lounging on the sand. The sky will remain mostly filled with clouds, though the sun can still be quite intense with a UV Index of 6.6, so take precautions if you head out. The sea is very cold at 14.6 °C and definitely not inviting for a swim. With shifting breezes and light waves, the water is calm but uncomfortably chilly. Overall, the combination of damp conditions and low water temperatures makes this a day better spent enjoying indoor activities rather than relaxing by the shore.
