*** 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
The Starina reservoir in eastern Slovakia is the largest drinking water reservoir in the country, situated in the Bukovské vrchy. Because of its primary role as a source of clean water for the region, swimming and other recreational activities in the lake itself are strictly prohibited. The water here is very clean, but it remains cold for most of the year due to its mountain location, often staying below 18 °C even in summer.
Although direct bathing in the reservoir is not possible, the surrounding area is attractive for hiking and spending time in nature. The climate and the water temperature create a refreshing atmosphere, especially in hot summer days. For those who want to swim, smaller natural lakes and rivers outside the protected zone of the reservoir provide better options.
