*** 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
Parma, in the Emilia‑Romagna region of Italy, sits on the Parma River and is surrounded by low hills and the Apennine mountains where a few small natural and alpine lakes can be found (notably Lago Santo Parmense and other high‑altitude basins). Water temperatures in these lakes vary strongly by season and altitude. In spring (March–May) surface temperatures typically range from about 4–10 °C (39–50 °F). In summer (June–August) the warmest months, shallow and sun‑exposed lakes may reach roughly 10–18 °C (50–64 °F), though deeper or higher lakes remain cooler. Autumn (September–November) sees temperatures fall back to roughly 6–14 °C (43–57 °F), while in winter many alpine lakes hover near freezing or freeze over, around 0–4 °C (32–39 °F).
Swimming in natural lakes around Parma is possible in some places but is limited by practical and regulatory factors. Cold temperatures even in summer increase the risk of cold shock or hypothermia, and many mountain lakes have no lifeguard or facilities; protected natural areas and reservoirs may prohibit bathing to protect water quality or safety. Within the province, people more commonly use supervised swimming pools, municipal facilities, or the thermal spas of nearby towns for recreational bathing, while anyone choosing lake swims should check local rules, water quality advisories, and weather conditions.
