*** 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
Čelinac lies on the banks of the Vrbanja River, a clean and relatively fast-flowing tributary of the Vrbas. The river has a distinctly continental temperature pattern: during winter months, the water cools to around 3–5 °C, while in summer it can reach 20–23 °C in calmer and shallower stretches near the town. Because the Vrbanja flows through hilly terrain and receives cool water from smaller streams, it generally remains refreshing even in the warmest periods. The clarity and moderate depth of the river make it appealing for short swims and local recreation during July and August.
Swimming in the Vrbanja near Čelinac is allowed, and locals often use specific spots where the current slows down and access is easy. However, caution is advised since some parts of the river have slippery stones and unpredictable currents. The area offers a natural setting for relaxation, with clean water and green banks providing pleasant surroundings. During heatwaves, the river serves as a refreshing escape, though the temperature usually stays lower than in larger lowland rivers.
