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 Hornád River flows from Slovakia into northeastern Hungary, passing through a mostly natural and rural landscape before joining the Sajó. In Hungary, the river is relatively narrow and its flow can vary, which affects both the water quality and its suitability for bathing. During the summer, the temperature of the Hornád usually rises to around 19–22°C, offering refreshing but somewhat cool conditions for swimming. Because of the variable current and occasional muddiness, it is not widely used as an official bathing river.
Locals may still enjoy wading or taking a dip in calmer sections when the weather is hot, but for proper swimming most people prefer nearby lakes, reservoirs, or pools where the conditions are more predictable. The Hornád in Hungary is appreciated more for fishing, canoeing, and its scenic value rather than as a destination for regular swimming.
