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
The Embalse de San Rafael de Navallana, near Córdoba in Andalusia, shows typical Mediterranean-continent reservoir temperatures that vary with the seasons. In spring surface water usually warms to roughly 12–18 °C (54–64 °F) as days lengthen and inflows moderate. In summer the reservoir can reach more comfortable bathing conditions, commonly 22–28 °C (72–82 °F), and in hot spells surface readings may briefly approach 30 °C (86 °F). Autumn brings a gradual cooling, with temperatures around 15–21 °C (59–70 °F), while winter often drops the water to about 6–12 °C (43–54 °F), cold enough to make prolonged immersion uncomfortable and increase hypothermia risk.
Swimming at San Rafael de Navallana is subject to regulation and practical constraints: because the reservoir serves water management functions and can present underwater hazards, official rules frequently restrict or discourage bathing to protect water quality and ensure safety. Nonetheless, during warm months locals sometimes swim informally in sheltered areas when signage and access allow; anyone considering entering the water should check current local regulations, heed posted warnings, and be aware that colder shoulder-season temperatures make swimming risky even if permitted.
