*** 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 Glan River, located in the Austrian state of Carinthia, flows through a picturesque landscape of valleys and towns before joining the Gurk River near Maria Saal. With its source in the Gurktal Alps, the Glan is a small, shallow river known for its calm and peaceful flow. The water temperature in the Glan varies by season, with summer temperatures reaching around 16°C to 20°C (61°F to 68°F) in its lower sections. However, the upper stretches remain cooler due to the alpine influence, often below 12°C (54°F), making them less suitable for swimming.
Swimming in the Glan is generally uncommon due to its shallow nature and relatively cool temperatures. Locals and visitors may enjoy wading or splashing in calmer, shallow areas, particularly during warm summer days, but the river is not ideal for extensive swimming. The Glan is better known for its tranquil atmosphere, attracting those who prefer relaxing by the water or engaging in outdoor activities such as fishing or hiking along its banks. For a more structured swimming experience, nearby lakes or public pools in Carinthia offer warmer and more inviting conditions.
