Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast
❌ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 41°F (5°C) to 47°F (8°C). This water temperature is still quite low, and swimming in such conditions may only be comfortable for hardened individuals. It is recommended to limit the time spent in the water to avoid hypothermia. For those not accustomed to cold water, it is better to refrain from swimming. However, if you decide to enter the water, it is advisable to wear a warm wetsuit for protection against the cold. It is important to note that these swimming tips and recommendations apply only in good weather. When the air temperature is below 68°F (20°C), and sometimes even below 77°F (25°C), swimming can be unpleasant even with relatively high water temperatures.

*** 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 Rėkyva experiences marked seasonal variation in surface water temperature typical for Lithuanian lowland lakes. In spring (April–May) the water usually warms from about 4–12 °C (39–54 °F) as ice melts and air temperatures rise. Summer maxima are commonly reached in June–August, with surface temperatures most often in the 18–24 °C range (64–75 °F) and occasionally climbing a few degrees higher during heat waves. In autumn (September–October) the temperature drops again, typically falling to 6–15 °C (43–59 °F) as cooling and mixing increase. In winter the lake normally freezes over; surface water under the ice is close to 0 °C (32 °F) and air temperatures commonly drive the ice several degrees below freezing, making open-water swimming impractical.
Swimming at Rėkyva is generally possible and popular during the warm months at accessible shores and informal bathing spots, because the lake provides shallow bays and enough summer warmth for recreational swimming. Municipal rules and local signage determine where bathing is recommended, and water quality can vary, so swimmers should follow posted guidance. In winter, regular swimming is not allowed or advisable because of ice cover and hypothermia risk; only organized or experienced winter swimmers using proper safety precautions should enter through cleared ice holes.
