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
Sillböle bassäng (Silvolan tekojärvi) is an artificial reservoir located in Vantaa, Uusimaa, primarily known as a component of the Helsinki metropolitan area’s water supply system, not a traditional swimming location. Due to its status as a reserve for raw drinking water, swimming is generally prohibited in the basin itself to protect water quality and public health. This restriction overrides the general provisions of Finland's Everyman’s Rights in this specific context of waterworks infrastructure. Recreational use around the basin is typically limited to walking and other activities that do not involve direct water contact.
As a reservoir in Southern Finland, its water temperature follows a distinct seasonal cycle. During the winter months, approximately from December to April, the surface of the basin is usually frozen, with the water below the ice remaining at temperatures near freezing, ranging from 0∘C to 4∘C. In the summer, the surface water temperature warms up significantly, particularly in July, often reaching a range of 18∘C to 22∘C. However, this warm temperature does not translate into swimming opportunities due to the ongoing restriction necessary for its primary function as a water source.
