*** 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
Holmsjön in Västernorrland County typically follows the seasonal temperature patterns of small lakes in northern Sweden. In spring the surface water commonly warms from near freezing up to about 0–10 °C (32–50 °F) as ice melts and the sun gains strength. During summer, when conditions are warmest, surface temperatures often reach roughly 15–22 °C (59–72 °F), although cloudy weather and wind can keep it cooler, and deeper water remains markedly colder. In autumn the lake cools again to around 5–15 °C (41–59 °F) before freezing. Under ice in winter water just below the surface is close to 0–4 °C (32–39 °F), while lower layers may be slightly warmer. Local factors such as depth, inflow, and recent weather can cause variations from these typical ranges.
Swimming at Holmsjön is commonly possible in the ice-free months and is generally permitted under Sweden’s right of public access (allemansrätten), which allows people to enter and swim in natural waters so long as private property and local restrictions are respected. Many people swim from accessible shores or small beaches in summer when surface temperatures are comfortable, and some practice supervised ice bathing in winter with appropriate safety precautions. As with any natural lake, swimmers should consider water quality, sudden depth changes, aquatic plants, and ice safety before entering, and follow any on-site signage or municipal guidance.
