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
Mornos Lake (Τεχνητή Λίμνη Μόρνου) is a man-made reservoir in western Greece that supplies drinking water and supports hydroelectric and irrigation needs. Surface water temperatures follow seasonal patterns typical of Mediterranean inland reservoirs and vary with weather, depth and inflow. Typical ranges at the surface are roughly 6–12 °C (43–54 °F) in winter, about 10–18 °C (50–64 °F) in spring, approximately 18–26 °C (64–79 °F) in summer, and around 12–20 °C (54–68 °F) in autumn. Deeper layers remain noticeably cooler year-round, so overall thermal stratification is common in warmer months and can lead to colder bottom temperatures than those at the surface.
Swimming in the Mornos reservoir is generally not permitted because it is an important source of potable water and is managed to protect water quality and infrastructure. Access and activities are regulated by authorities, with restrictions intended to prevent contamination, preserve supply reliability and ensure safety around dam structures. While some people might enter the water informally in secluded spots, such actions are against the rules and can pose legal, health and safety risks; permitted recreational uses are limited and typically controlled by local agencies.
