*** 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
Lacul Băneasa (Romanian: Lacul Băneasa) is a small urban reservoir on the northern edge of Bucharest in the Ilfov county, known for its proximity to parks, roads and recreational facilities. Water temperatures vary with the seasons: in winter the surface can drop close to freezing, typically around 1–4 °C (34–39 °F); spring brings a gradual rise to roughly 8–16 °C (46–61 °F); in summer the lake can warm to about 18–26 °C (64–79 °F) at the surface on warm days; and autumn sees cooling back to roughly 10–18 °C (50–64 °F). These ranges are approximate and local weather, wind and runoff influence short-term variability, so actual conditions may differ year to year.
Swimming at Lacul Băneasa is generally not officially permitted and is often discouraged for several reasons. Water quality can be uneven because of urban runoff and limited circulation, there are no regular lifeguard services, and the lake supports boating and fishing activities that create safety hazards. As a result authorities and local signs typically advise against informal bathing; nevertheless, some people still enter the water at their own risk during warm spells. For safety and legal clarity visitors should follow posted rules and consult local authorities before considering swimming.
