*** Forecast - Our water temperature forecast

Actual nearshore water temperatures may fluctuate by several degrees from the reported values, especially following heavy rainfall or extended periods of strong winds. Certain wind patterns can cause colder, deeper waters to rise and replace the sun-warmed surface water, leading to noticeable variations.

Our forecast is based on a proprietary mathematical model that considers real-time water temperature changes, historical trends, key weather patterns, wind strength and direction, and air temperature specific to each region. Additionally, we incorporate data from other resorts to enhance accuracy.

Location & Local Information

Maqellarë (in Albanian - Maqellarë) lies in Dibër County in northeastern Albania and is associated with small inland lakes and river stretches in a continental-affected lowland. Water temperatures in these local lakes vary by season: in winter surface temperatures commonly fall to roughly 4–7 °C (39–45 °F), in spring they typically rise to about 8–15 °C (46–59 °F), in summer they reach their warmest values around 18–24 °C (64–75 °F), and in autumn they cool again to roughly 10–16 °C (50–61 °F). Late-summer shallow bays can be a few degrees warmer on sunny days, while deeper or shaded portions remain cooler.

Swimming in the Maqellarë area is generally possible and is most common in the warm months when water temperatures are comfortable for bathing. There are no extensive formal beaches or lifeguarded facilities in many spots, so access is informal and depends on local conditions and private versus public land along shorelines. Water quality, currents near river inflows, and safety around infrastructure such as small dams may restrict safe swimming in specific locations; for those reasons swimmers are advised to follow local signage and guidance from municipal authorities or residents before entering the water.
