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
Szombathely does not lie directly on a large natural lake or river, but the city is surrounded by smaller ponds and artificial lakes that serve as local recreational spots. In the summer months, these waters usually warm up to around 22–26°C, especially in shallower areas, which makes them pleasant for a refreshing swim. Locals often use these places to cool down on hot days, while some of the lakes are more oriented towards fishing and leisure by the shore.
The main opportunities for swimming in Szombathely are connected to managed facilities, such as the popular thermal and outdoor pools, where the water conditions are controlled and reliable. However, for those who prefer natural water, short trips outside the city lead to lakes that are suitable for bathing, offering a more relaxed, nature-oriented experience. This balance makes Szombathely attractive both for organized swimming and occasional natural bathing.
