*** 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
Çamlıca Dam (Çamlıca Barajı) in Gümüşhane sits in a mountainous part of northeastern Turkey, and the temperature of its reservoir reflects that setting. Because the lake is relatively deep and fed by cool mountain streams, surface water temperatures vary markedly by season. Typical ranges are roughly 0–5 °C (32–41 °F) in winter when freezing conditions and snowmelt dominate; 6–14 °C (43–57 °F) in spring as runoff warms; 18–24 °C (64–75 °F) in the warmest weeks of summer, when surface layers can heat up; and about 8–15 °C (46–59 °F) in autumn as cooling resumes. Localized differences occur depending on depth, inflow, shade, and recent weather, so measurements at a single spot may not represent the whole reservoir.
Swimming at Çamlıca Dam is generally limited. Many reservoirs in the region restrict or discourage bathing because of safety hazards – sudden depth changes, underwater currents near the dam and intakes, fluctuating water levels, and cold thermoclines – as well as water-quality and water-supply protection concerns. In warm summer periods people sometimes swim informally in shallower, sheltered areas when surface temperatures are highest, but official permissions vary and safety infrastructure is often minimal. Visitors should follow local regulations and warnings and avoid areas close to dam structures.
