*** 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
Niš, one of the largest cities in southern Serbia, lies on the banks of the Nišava River, which flows through a broad valley surrounded by hills. The river’s water temperature changes significantly with the seasons due to the region’s continental climate. In spring, the Nišava typically has temperatures between 10 and 15 °C, while in summer it warms to 20–25 °C, occasionally reaching 26 °C during hot spells. In autumn, the temperature gradually cools to around 14–18 °C, and in winter it can drop below 5 °C, with some shallow sections partially freezing. The river’s flow is moderate, with faster currents after heavy rain.
Swimming in the Nišava near Niš is possible but not officially organized. During the warmest months, especially in July and August, locals sometimes swim or cool off in calmer and shallower areas. However, because of varying depth, stronger currents, and changes in water quality, swimming is recommended only in safe, known sections. The river is mainly used for recreation, fishing, and walking along its banks rather than for regular bathing. Despite that, the Nišava adds a refreshing natural element to the city’s summer landscape.
