*** 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 Szelid, located in southern Hungary near Kalocsa, is a popular holiday lake known for its warm and calm waters. Because it is shallow, the lake heats up quickly in summer, often reaching 25–28°C, and during heatwaves it can feel almost like bathwater. This makes it especially attractive for families and those who prefer gentle swimming conditions. In spring the water starts off cooler, but by early summer it becomes pleasantly warm, staying that way well into the season.
Swimming in Lake Szelid is very comfortable thanks to its sandy and gently sloping shoreline. Several designated beaches are available, offering safe access for children and opportunities for longer swims. The relaxed atmosphere of the lake is perfect for leisurely bathing, while nearby facilities make it convenient for visitors who want to spend the whole day by the water. Besides swimming, pedal boats and small water sports are also common, adding variety to the experience.
