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
Velika Plana, a town in central Serbia, is situated on the Great Morava River (Velika Morava). Swimming in the Great Morava is generally permitted under the public right of access to natural waterways, but it is not officially regulated or supervised. The river is known for its sometimes fast currents, particularly after rainfall, and its water quality is often unmonitored for bathing standards, making swimming an activity undertaken at one's own risk. Locals occasionally use specific, calmer bends or shallows for cooling off during the hot summer months.
The Great Morava River exhibits a clear seasonal range in its water temperature. During the cold winter months, from approximately December to February, the temperature of the river is very low, consistently ranging from 0∘C to 4∘C, often with ice present along the banks. The river becomes suitable for casual swimming only in the peak of summer, specifically July and August. In this period, the surface temperature can rise to between 19∘C and 23∘C, offering a moderately refreshing, though never truly warm, bathing experience.
