*** 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 Bilancino, an artificial reservoir in Tuscany near Barberino di Mugello, experiences a marked seasonal cycle in surface-water temperature. In winter months the lake typically cools to roughly 4–8 °C (39–46 °F), while spring brings a steady rise to about 10–18 °C (50–64 °F). Peak warmth occurs in summer, when surface temperatures commonly reach 20–26 °C (68–79 °F) on calm, sunny days. In autumn the water gradually cools again, often sitting in the 12–18 °C (54–64 °F) range depending on early frosts and rainfall. These figures are approximate averages; actual readings vary with air temperature, wind, depth and inflow from the Mugello basin.
Swimming at Lago di Bilancino is allowed and is a popular activity during the warmer months, particularly at designated bathing areas and lidos where water quality is monitored and safety measures such as lifeguards may be present. Recreational swimming outside marked zones is less advisable because of boat traffic, varying depths and occasional water-quality advisories after heavy rain. Local authorities publish seasonal guidelines and monitor conditions, so visitors are encouraged to use the supervised beaches and heed posted signs for a safe swimming experience.
