This page provides information on the current water temperature in the Adda River, trends, monthly ranges and the forecast for the coming days.
Current Water Temperature
Water Temperature in the Adda River today is 19.4°C.
Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast
⚠️ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 65°F (18°C) to 68°F (20°C). This is already quite warm water, which is ideal for most people. Swimming becomes comfortable, and prolonged stays in the water do not cause discomfort. This temperature is perfect for family trips and for those who prefer warmer water. It is also comfortable for water sports such as surfing or swimming. 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.

The Adda, flowing from the Alps through Lake Como and across Lombardy, shows quite variable water temperatures depending on season and location. In upper, mountain-fed reaches and near Lake Como’s outflow the river stays cooler: typical winter temperatures can hover around 2–6 °C (36–43 °F), spring commonly warms to roughly 6–14 °C (43–57 °F), summer in sheltered or slow-flowing stretches often reaches about 18–25 °C (64–77 °F), and autumn usually brings 10–16 °C (50–61 °F). Lower, lowland sections warmed by sun and slower flows can be a few degrees warmer in summer, while cold meltwater and shaded gorges keep other parts markedly chillier year-round. Actual values vary with recent weather, river depth and flow, and proximity to lakes or tributaries.
Swimming in the Adda is possible in many places but is subject to local rules and safety considerations. Municipalities and regional authorities designate some stretches, lidos and beaches for bathing where water quality is monitored; conversely, swimming is restricted or unsafe near dams, weirs, hydroelectric intakes, busy navigation channels and industrial outlets because of strong currents, sudden discharges and submerged hazards. Health and legal status therefore depend on the exact spot and season: always check local signage and water-quality reports, avoid areas with fast flow or boat traffic, and prioritize supervised bathing sites.
