Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast
✅ As of today, the minimum water temperature is above 82°F (28°C). This is very warm water, which may feel almost hot to most people. Swimming in such conditions is perfect for those seeking relaxation and comfort in the water. These waters are often preferred for relaxation in hot weather, as the water temperature does not cool the body significantly. However, it is important to remember that in such warm waters, caution is necessary, as prolonged exposure without rest can lead to overheating. 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
Bursa (in Turkish: Bursa) sits near several inland water bodies, and their temperatures vary markedly by season and by type. In lowland lakes such as Uluabat, surface temperatures typically range from about 4–8 °C (39–46 °F) in winter to roughly 18–26 °C (64–79 °F) in summer, with spring and autumn values commonly between 8–16 °C (46–61 °F). Rivers draining from Uludağ and surrounding hills tend to be colder and more variable: winter river temperatures often fall to 0–6 °C (32–43 °F) at higher elevations and 2–8 °C (36–46 °F) in lowland stretches, while summer river temperatures commonly sit between 10–20 °C (50–68 °F) depending on flow, shading and depth.
Swimming opportunities exist seasonally in some lakes and calmer river reaches, mainly during the warm months when surface temperatures exceed about 18 °C (64 °F). However, informal bathing is more common than regulated beach facilities; local water quality, algal blooms, agricultural runoff and river currents influence whether swimming is advisable or permitted. Municipal advisories, signage and seasonal closures can apply, and strong currents or cold, fast-flowing mountain streams make river swimming risky even in summer. Always check local notices and water quality information before entering inland waters in the Bursa region.
