*** 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
Lake Iso Lohijärvi, located in western Lapland near Ylitornio, is a clear and tranquil lake surrounded by northern forests and low hills. Its high-latitude location means that the water temperature remains relatively cool throughout the year. In spring, after the ice melts in May, the surface water temperature is about 3–6 °C (37–43 °F). During early summer, it gradually warms to 12–16 °C (54–61 °F), and in July, at the warmest time of the year, it typically reaches 17–20 °C (63–68 °F). On particularly warm days, shallow shores may briefly rise to 21–22 °C (70–72 °F). By September, the water cools below 10 °C (50 °F), and the lake usually freezes again by late October or November.
Swimming in Lake Iso Lohijärvi is allowed and practiced mainly during the short Arctic summer. The water is clean and of good quality, though it tends to stay refreshingly cool even in midsummer. Local residents and visitors swim at small beaches and piers, enjoying the peaceful surroundings and clear air. While the water may feel cold compared with southern lakes, it provides a pure and invigorating experience typical of Lapland’s natural waters.
