*** 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
Levally Lough, situated in County Mayo near the much larger Lough Conn, is a classic Irish freshwater lake, primarily valued for its angling, particularly for pike. As with many inland loughs, public temperature data is not regularly recorded, but its waters follow the typical Irish seasonal pattern. In the coldest months of winter, the temperature likely hovers between 5∘C and 9∘C (41∘F to 48∘F). By mid-summer, solar warming can bring the surface temperature up to approximately 15∘C to 19∘C (59∘F to 66∘F), making a brief dip possible for hardy swimmers.
Swimming is not officially promoted at Levally Lough, as it is an undeveloped location without designated bathing areas or facilities. While there is no general legal prohibition on swimming in Irish lakes, it is done at one's own risk, and swimmers should be mindful of the pike fishing activity that is popular here. The area is best known for its tranquil rural setting and proximity to scenic Mayo locations. Nearby attractions include the majestic Nephin mountain, offering challenging hikes, and the shores of Lough Conn, which provide extensive opportunities for fishing and boating.
