*** 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
Florence (Firenze) sits on the Arno in the heart of Tuscany, but the nearest recreational lakes — above all Lake Bilancino to the north — are where visitors head for lake swimming. Water temperatures vary by season and by the lake’s size and depth: in spring you can expect roughly 8–16 °C (46–61 °F), summer highs commonly reach 20–28 °C (68–82 °F) on shallower, sun-warmed basins, autumn cools back to about 12–18 °C (54–64 °F), and winter surface temperatures often fall to around 4–8 °C (39–46 °F). Smaller, shallower lakes warm faster in summer but also cool quickly in shoulder seasons.
Swimming is possible at several lakes near Florence, but conditions and rules differ. Many reservoirs and recreational lakes open supervised swimming areas in summer for safety and because water quality is monitored; other lakes are used for drinking water supply or are protected habitats, so swimming can be restricted or prohibited. Even where swimming is allowed, signage, seasonal lifeguards and local water-quality updates determine safe access. Visitors should follow posted rules and check current local information before entering the water.
