Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast
❌ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 47°F (8°C) to 50°F (10°C). This is still cool water, suitable only for experienced swimmers or those accustomed to cold water. Swimming in such conditions is possible, but not recommended for prolonged periods. Extra caution should be taken during extended exposure, as the cold water can cause heat loss and lead to hypothermia. For added comfort, special clothing can be used. It is important to note that these swimming tips and recommendations apply only in good weather. When the air temperature is below 68°F (20°C), and sometimes even below 77°F (25°C), swimming can be unpleasant even with relatively high water temperatures.

*** 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
Falun (Falun) sits in Dalarna County beside several freshwater lakes, notably Lake Runn and smaller local basins. Surface water temperatures vary strongly with the seasons: in spring (April–May) lakes typically register about 2–12 °C (36–54 °F) as ice melts; early summer (June) commonly warms to roughly 12–18 °C (54–64 °F); peak summer (July–August) often sees surface temperatures in the 16–22 °C range (61–72 °F), occasionally higher during hot spells; autumn (September–October) brings cooling to roughly 6–14 °C (43–57 °F); in winter the water is at or below freezing near the surface where lakes freeze. These figures are approximate averages for small to medium lakes in the Falun area and can vary with weather, depth and local inflows.
Swimming in and around Falun is generally allowed and common, supported by municipal bathing areas, piers and informal access under Sweden’s freedom to roam (allemansrätten). Designated beaches often provide safer entry points and sometimes basic facilities; water quality is usually suitable for bathing but can vary, so local signage and municipal reports should be checked. Swimming outside the warmest weeks can be cold and carries hypothermia risk; in winter ice swimming occurs but requires appropriate precautions and knowledge of ice safety.
