Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast

✅ As of today, the minimum water temperature is above 82°F (28°C). This is very warm water, which may feel almost hot to most people. Swimming in such conditions is perfect for those seeking relaxation and comfort in the water. These waters are often preferred for relaxation in hot weather, as the water temperature does not cool the body significantly. However, it is important to remember that in such warm waters, caution is necessary, as prolonged exposure without rest can lead to overheating. It is important to note that these swimming tips and recommendations apply only in good weather. When the air temperature is below 68°F (20°C), and sometimes even below 77°F (25°C), swimming can be unpleasant even with relatively high water temperatures.

*** 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

Badacsony is located on the northern shore of Lake Balaton, near the famous volcanic hills that give the area its unique landscape. The water here warms up during summer to around 23–26°C, providing comfortable conditions for swimming. Since the northern shore is slightly deeper than the southern side, the lake takes longer to heat up in late spring, but by mid-summer it is ideal for both casual bathers and more serious swimmers.

The shoreline in Badacsony offers a mix of natural beaches and small organized bathing spots. Swimmers can enjoy calm waters with fewer crowds compared to some of the larger resort towns along Balaton. The clear water and scenic surroundings make swimming here especially enjoyable, while the combination of warm lake water and the beautiful backdrop of the volcanic hills adds a relaxing touch to any summer visit.
