Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast
⚠️ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 54°F (12°C) to 60°F (15°C). The water is significantly warmer, and swimming becomes possible for most people. However, caution may still be required for prolonged stays in the water, as extended exposure can cause discomfort. This is a suitable temperature range for short swims and for those accustomed to cooler water. For more comfortable swimming, it is recommended to use proper gear. 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 Ćehotina River is a major river in the northern part of Montenegro, predominantly flowing through the Pljevlja region before joining the Drina River. Swimming is officially allowed at designated, though few, locations, but it is primarily restricted to the warmer months. The upper course of the river maintains its pristine, cold mountain character, while the lower, more populated sections, especially near the town of Pljevlja, have historically faced challenges with water quality, which can occasionally affect swimming safety.
The seasonal water temperature range of the Ćehotina is typical for a Balkan mountain river, though with some influence from its lower elevation flow. In winter, from December to February, the water is near freezing, ranging from approximately 4∘C to 8∘C. During the summer, particularly in July and August, the surface temperature in the calmer, shallower parts of the river can rise to more comfortable levels, generally between 18∘C and 22∘C, making for refreshing summer bathing, especially in the upstream sections.
