Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast
❌ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 47°F (8°C) to 50°F (10°C). This is still cool water, suitable only for experienced swimmers or those accustomed to cold water. Swimming in such conditions is possible, but not recommended for prolonged periods. Extra caution should be taken during extended exposure, as the cold water can cause heat loss and lead to hypothermia. For added comfort, special clothing can be used. It is important to note that these swimming tips and recommendations apply only in good weather. When the air temperature is below 68°F (20°C), and sometimes even below 77°F (25°C), swimming can be unpleasant even with relatively high water temperatures.

*** 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
Radžu ūdenskrātuve experiences the typical seasonal temperature cycle of Latvian lowland reservoirs. In late spring (April–May) surface temperatures commonly rise from about 6–14 °C (43–57 °F) as the ice melts and solar heating increases. Summer (June–August) is the warmest period, with surface temperatures usually between 16–24 °C (61–75 °F) and occasional warmer spikes on calm, sunny days. In autumn (September–October) the water cools again to roughly 8–14 °C (46–57 °F) as air temperatures fall. During winter the surface generally reaches near-freezing and the reservoir is often ice-covered; under-ice water temperatures tend to remain close to 0–4 °C (32–39 °F) until thaw.
Swimming at Radžu ūdenskrātuve is generally possible because the site has public access and is not universally closed to bathing, but opportunities depend on local conditions and rules. There are often no lifeguards or formally maintained beaches, so swimmers should be cautious about depth changes, underwater hazards and boat traffic. Water quality can vary seasonally; bathing may be discouraged during algal blooms, after heavy rain or if local authorities issue advisories. Visitors are advised to follow on-site signage and local guidance, check recent water-quality information, and take standard safety precautions when entering the reservoir.
