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
Liqeni i Ulzës typically shows marked seasonal variation in surface water temperature typical of inland reservoirs in northern Albania. In spring the water often remains cool, roughly 10–16 °C (50–61 °F) as runoff and cooler air keep temperatures down. By early summer surface temperatures commonly rise into the 18–24 °C range (64–75 °F), with late summer peaks sometimes reaching 22–28 °C (72–82 °F) in sheltered, shallow bays on warm years. Autumn brings a steady cooling back toward the 10–16 °C (50–61 °F) band, and in winter surface readings frequently fall to single digits, around 4–8 °C (39–46 °F), depending on weather and reservoir depth. These figures are approximate; local conditions, depth and inflow can change temperatures significantly from place to place and year to year.
Swimming at Liqeni i Ulzës is practiced by visitors in summer when surface waters are warmest, but access and safety depend on local rules and site conditions. Some parts of the reservoir near the shore are commonly used for recreational bathing, while areas close to dams, intakes or steep drop-offs are unsafe or officially restricted. Water quality, sudden level changes, underwater hazards and currents near infrastructure are the main reasons authorities may limit swimming, so checking on-site signage or local guidance before entering the water is advisable.
