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
Vollevannet, in Agder County, is a small freshwater lake whose surface temperatures follow the typical seasonal pattern for southern Norway. In winter the lake often hovers around 0–4 °C (32–39 °F) and can freeze during cold spells. Spring brings a steady rise, with surface readings commonly between 4–12 °C (39–54 °F) as ice melts and daylight increases. Summer is the warmest period: typical surface temperatures are about 15–22 °C (59–72 °F), with occasional peaks near 24 °C (75 °F) in prolonged warm weather. During autumn the water cools again, generally settling in the 8–14 °C (46–57 °F) range before the onset of winter.
Swimming at Vollevannet is generally allowed because it is public freshwater used for recreation by local residents, and many people bathe there in summer when temperatures are most comfortable. Suitability varies with season: summer conditions are most inviting, while spring, autumn and winter waters are cold and pose a greater risk of cold shock and hypothermia to unacclimatised swimmers. Local signage, water-quality advisories and common-sense precautions (entering slowly, not swimming alone, and checking for algal warnings) should be observed to ensure safety.
