Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast

❌ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 41°F (5°C) to 47°F (8°C). This water temperature is still quite low, and swimming in such conditions may only be comfortable for hardened individuals. It is recommended to limit the time spent in the water to avoid hypothermia. For those not accustomed to cold water, it is better to refrain from swimming. However, if you decide to enter the water, it is advisable to wear a warm wetsuit for protection against the cold. 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

Milan sits inland in Lombardy with easy access to lakes such as Como, Maggiore and Garda, as well as rivers and canals like the Adda, Ticino and smaller urban waterways. Surface temperatures in the region’s lakes typically range from about 4–8 °C (39–46 °F) in winter to 20–26 °C (68–79 °F) in summer, with shallow or sheltered bays sometimes reaching 25–27 °C (77–81 °F) on hot late-summer days; spring and autumn values commonly fall between roughly 7–15 °C (45–59 °F) and 10–18 °C (50–64 °F) respectively. Rivers are more variable and often cooler, influenced by mountain inflows: winter levels can be around 2–8 °C (36–46 °F), rising to 12–22 °C (54–72 °F) in summer, while transitional seasons typically lie between about 6–14 °C (43–57 °F) and 8–16 °C (46–61 °F).

Swimming is permitted in many lakes and in designated bathing areas or supervised lidos, including municipal or private beaches where water quality and safety are monitored seasonally. River swimming is possible in some stretches but is commonly limited by currents, navigation, local rules and variable water quality; urban canals near Milan are often discouraged or subject to restrictions for sanitary and safety reasons. Local authorities conduct regular monitoring, so access is driven by both environmental conditions and public-safety regulations.
