*** 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 Karataş (Karataş Gölü) in Burdur is a relatively shallow inland lake that responds quickly to seasonal weather. In winter the water commonly sits near freezing to cool values, roughly 0–8 °C (32–46 °F). Spring temperatures rise as surface water warms, typically reaching about 8–18 °C (46–64 °F). In the warmest months the lake can be pleasantly mild, with summertime surface temperatures often in the 20–28 °C range (68–82 °F), though occasional hot spells can push the top layer higher. Autumn brings a steady cooling back into the 12–20 °C band (54–68 °F). These ranges are indicative; exact readings vary with depth, wind, rainfall and year-to-year climate variation.
Swimming in Lake Karataş is physically possible during the warmer months when surface temperatures are comfortable, but the lake lacks developed bathing facilities and water quality and access can be variable. Because the site can be important for local wildlife and may be subject to local regulations or seasonal restrictions, swimming is sometimes discouraged or restricted to protect habitats and for safety reasons. Visitors planning to swim should check current local guidance, watch for posted signs, and be mindful that shallow lakes can change quickly in temperature and conditions.
