*** 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
Plasencia, in Extremadura, lies close to several reservoirs and embalses whose water temperatures vary with the seasons. In winter the surface of these lakes typically ranges from about 6–12 °C (43–54 °F), feeling cold for prolonged immersion. Spring warms the water to roughly 12–18 °C (54–64 °F) as air temperatures rise and sunlight increases. In summer, on calmer sunny days, surface temperatures commonly climb to 20–26 °C (68–79 °F), the most comfortable range for recreational swimming. During autumn the water cools again, usually sitting between 12–20 °C (54–68 °F) depending on recent weather and inflows. Local variations occur with depth, shading, inflow from rivers, and reservoir release schedules, so surface readings can change quickly after storms or dam operations.
Swimming is permitted at many authorised spots around the reservoirs near Plasencia, particularly during summer when temperatures are highest, but it is not universally allowed everywhere. Restrictions are imposed for reasons of water quality, safety near dams or intake structures, and the presence of boat traffic; signage and local regulations indicate where bathing is legal. Even in permitted areas, colder seasonal temperatures increase risk of cramps and hypothermia, and absence of lifeguards or sudden depth changes make caution advisable. Checking local notices before entering the water is recommended.
