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
Drobeta-Turnu Severin (Romanian: Drobeta-Turnu Severin) is a city on the Danube in South-West Oltenia, adjacent to the reservoir formed by the Iron Gates hydroelectric system. Surface water temperatures in this stretch vary by season: in winter the river and reservoir typically cool to around 2–6 °C (35–43 °F), spring sees a gradual rise to roughly 8–15 °C (46–59 °F), summer surface temperatures commonly reach 20–26 °C (68–79 °F) and in warm years can approach 28 °C (82 °F), while autumn values usually fall back to about 10–16 °C (50–61 °F). These ranges depend on yearly weather patterns, local depth, and flow from upstream and tributaries.
Swimming opportunities exist mainly during the warm months when surface temperatures are most comfortable, but they are conditional. Designated bathing areas and small local beaches on calmer stretches are used by residents, yet open-water swimming near strong currents, shipping lanes or close to the dam is discouraged for safety reasons. Water quality can vary with season and upstream inputs, so local authorities may monitor and occasionally issue advisories; lifeguard presence is not guaranteed at every site. Visitors should check current local information, choose marked swimming spots, and respect signage and seasonal restrictions.
