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
Požarevac is a city in eastern Serbia, located in the vicinity of the Great Morava River (Velika Morava). While the river is a dominant geographical feature of the region, it is not a primary swimming destination due to its nature as a wide, alluvial lowland river with strong currents, shifting sandy bottom, and fluctuating water levels. As such, swimming in the main river channel is generally not recommended and is not formally regulated, carrying inherent risks. Locals seeking water recreation often turn to backwaters, oxbow lakes, or organized swimming pools near the city.
The water temperature of the Great Morava near Požarevac is typical for a large, slow-moving continental river. In the cold winter season, from approximately November to March, the temperature drops considerably, typically ranging from 0∘C to 5∘C, with ice formation common near the banks, making swimming impossible. During the height of summer, July and August, the water absorbs heat well, reaching a comfortable surface temperature range of 22∘C to 26∘C. This warmth makes the water physically suitable for bathing, but safety and water quality concerns remain paramount for any unofficial swimming.
