Today is certainly not a day for the beach, so it is best to make alternative plans indoors. The weather is quite unsettled with active thunderstorms and frequent rain expected throughout the day, making conditions unsafe for any outdoor activities. Strong winds are whipping across the sand, and the sea is very rough with high waves, creating a dangerous environment near the water. With an air temperature of 19.3 °C and a chilly sea temperature of 17.9 °C, it is far too cold for swimming. Even though there is a high level of solar radiation with a UV Index of 7.65, thick clouds will block most of the sunshine. Please stay clear of the shoreline today for your own safety.
