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
Letenye is located on the Hungarian-Croatian border, where the river Mur flows quietly through the surrounding landscapes. The water temperature of the Mur in this area follows the seasonal pattern of Central Europe: in spring it usually stays cool, around 12–16°C, while in the peak of summer it can rise to about 20–24°C depending on weather conditions and rainfall. Because the Mur is a natural river with steady flow, the temperature can fluctuate more than in nearby lakes, especially after heavy rains or colder nights.
As for swimming, the Mur near Letenye is not a classic bathing destination. The riverbanks are mostly natural and not developed into official beaches, so swimming is more for locals who know the currents and safe spots. The flow of the Mur can be unpredictable, making it suitable only for confident swimmers. More often, people enjoy the river here by fishing, canoeing, or simply relaxing near the water rather than organized bathing.
