*** 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
Reggio Emilia (in Italian: Reggio Emilia) sits inland in the Emilia-Romagna region and is crossed by rivers and dotted with small lakes and artificial reservoirs in the nearby Apennine foothills. Water temperatures in these freshwater bodies vary with the seasons. Winter river and lake temperatures typically range from about 2–8 °C (36–46 °F), spring warms to roughly 6–16 °C (43–61 °F), summer surface temperatures in shallow lakes and slow-moving stretches can reach 18–26 °C (64–79 °F), and autumn cools back to about 10–18 °C (50–64 °F). Mountain-fed streams keep cooler year-round, while stagnant basins or shallow ponds heat up more in hot weather and can be considerably warmer at the surface.
Swimming in Reggio Emilia’s rivers and lakes is possible in some designated and managed locations but is not universally permitted or recommended. Local authorities often restrict access at certain reservoirs, dams, or private land for safety reasons and to protect water supply infrastructure. Water quality can fluctuate, particularly after heavy rains when runoff raises turbidity and contaminants, and stagnant waters may develop algae blooms in summer, affecting suitability for bathing. For safe swimming, use official bathing sites or well-marked recreational lakes where signage and monitoring indicate acceptable conditions.
