*** 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 Străulești, a small urban lake in the Bucharest–Ilfov area, shows marked seasonal variation in surface water temperature. In winter the surface often drops to around 0–4 °C (32–39 °F) and can partially freeze in cold spells. Spring brings a gradual rise, typically 6–15 °C (43–59 °F) as air temperatures warm and sunlight increases. During summer the shallow areas may warm considerably, with surface temperatures commonly between 18–26 °C (64–79 °F) on warm days; localized shallowing and calm conditions can push spots toward the upper part of that range. In autumn the lake cools back to roughly 8–15 °C (46–59 °F) as nights grow colder and stratification breaks down. Short-term variations depend on recent weather, wind, and depth, with deeper parts staying cooler than sunlit shallows.
As for swimming, Lacul Străulești does not function as an official public beach, and bathing is not actively supported by municipal services. There are typically no lifeguards, marked swimming zones, or routine water-quality monitoring, so authorities and local advisories often discourage recreational swimming. Even when summer temperatures seem inviting, issues such as variable water quality, algal growth, submerged hazards, and the absence of safety infrastructure make unsupervised swimming inadvisable. Those considering entering the water should check current local guidance and exercise caution.
