*** 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

Barragem dos Minutos, in the Évora District of Portugal, is a small reservoir whose surface water temperatures follow the region’s Mediterranean-continental climate. Typical seasonal ranges are: spring roughly 12–20 °C (54–68 °F) as the water warms after winter, summer commonly 22–28 °C (72–82 °F) and occasionally higher during heat waves, autumn about 14–22 °C (57–72 °F) as temperatures cool, and winter often 8–14 °C (46–57 °F) with the coldest layers found below the surface due to stratification. These are approximate surface temperatures; deeper water can be noticeably colder year-round, and short-term fluctuations occur with weather, inflow and reservoir operations.

Swimming at Barragem dos Minutos is not typically provided as an official supervised bathing service, so while people do swim there informally, it is subject to local rules, signage and water-quality conditions. Authorities may restrict access for safety, maintenance, drought control or when water tests indicate contamination or algal blooms. The site lacks lifeguards and can present hidden hazards such as steep banks, submerged obstacles and sudden depth changes, so anyone considering entering the water should check municipal guidance, current water-quality statements and exercise appropriate caution.
