*** 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

Karditsa (Greek: Καρδίτσα) in Thessaly is an inland area where the main freshwater bodies are the Pineios River and several smaller streams, plus the artificial Lake Plastiras a short drive from the town. Seasonal surface temperatures in the mountain reservoir tend to be coolest in winter, roughly 4–10 °C (39–50 °F), rising in spring to around 8–14 °C (46–57 °F) and reaching typical summer values of 18–24 °C (64–75 °F); autumn temperatures generally fall back into the 12–18 °C (54–64 °F) range. Lowland rivers and irrigation channels through the plain warm more in summer and often show winter/spring ranges near 6–12 °C (43–54 °F), spring to early summer 10–18 °C (50–64 °F), and shallow summer reaches commonly 20–26 °C (68–79 °F).

Swimming is allowed in many designated spots, particularly at Lake Plastiras where beaches and recreational areas cater to bathers during the warmer months, but permissions and facilities vary by site. River swimming is possible in calmer pools and upper-stream sections but may be restricted or unsafe because of currents, water abstraction for agriculture, or seasonal contamination; local authorities post advisories, and water temperature and flow conditions should be checked before entering to avoid cold-shock or hazardous conditions.
