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 Jerisjärvi, located in the municipality of Muonio in western Lapland, is a clear and scenic lake surrounded by fells and pine forests. Because of its northern location and relatively high altitude, the water temperature remains cool for most of the year. In spring, after the ice melts in late May or early June, the surface water temperature is around 3–6 °C (37–43 °F). During early summer, it rises to 12–15 °C (54–59 °F), and in July, the warmest month, Jerisjärvi typically reaches 17–19 °C (63–66 °F). On particularly hot days, shallow bays can briefly reach 20–21 °C (68–70 °F). By September, the water cools below 10 °C (50 °F), and the lake usually freezes again by late October.
Swimming in Jerisjärvi is allowed and common during the short Lapland summer. The water is exceptionally clean, and there are small beaches and piers near the Jerisjärvi area and the local spa hotel. Although the water remains quite cool even in midsummer, many visitors and locals enjoy the refreshing experience, especially on calm and sunny days. The lake’s peaceful surroundings, fresh air, and pure water make it an inviting place for swimming and relaxing in close connection with Lapland’s nature.
