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 Jerte River flows through the province of Cáceres in Extremadura, Spain, crossing the famous Jerte Valley, known for its cherry blossoms and mountain landscapes. Originating in the Sierra de Gredos, the river carries cool and clean mountain water throughout the year. In winter, its temperature usually remains between 3 and 6 °C, while in spring it rises to around 10–14 °C as snowmelt increases. During the summer months, especially in July and August, the water warms up to 18–22 °C in the lower sections, creating pleasant conditions for bathing. In autumn, it cools again to around 10–15 °C as the air temperature drops.
Swimming in the Jerte River is allowed and very popular, particularly in the natural pools formed along its course, such as the famous Garganta de los Infiernos. These crystal-clear pools attract visitors seeking to cool off during the hot Extremaduran summer. The water is refreshing but not too cold, making it comfortable for swimming, jumping from rocks, and spending time outdoors. Thanks to its clean flow, scenic surroundings, and accessible bathing spots, the Jerte River is considered one of the best freshwater swimming destinations in western Spain.
