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

The Embalse de Santomera, in Murcia, shows water temperatures typical of a Mediterranean reservoir, with notable seasonal variation. In winter the surface water commonly sits around 8–12 °C (46–54 °F), while spring sees a rise to roughly 12–20 °C (54–68 °F) as air temperatures warm. During the hottest months of summer surface temperatures often reach 20–27 °C (68–81 °F), and on very hot, calm days can briefly approach 28 °C (82 °F). In autumn the lake cools back toward spring values, roughly 12–20 °C (54–68 °F). These figures refer to surface conditions; deeper water can be several degrees colder due to thermal stratification, and short-term fluctuations occur with weather, inflows and reservoir management.

Swimming at Embalse de Santomera is generally restricted or discouraged rather than promoted as an organized recreational activity. Reservoirs in the region are managed for water supply and irrigation, and authorities often limit bathing for reasons of water quality, public safety and operational control. Hazards such as sudden depth changes, submerged structures, boats and variable currents make unsupervised swimming risky. While some people may enter the water informally during warm periods, official permission and local signage should be checked beforehand, and following health and safety guidance is advisable.
