Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast
❌ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 50°F (10°C) to 54°F (12°C). The water is slightly warmer, but still cool for most people. Swimming in such conditions is possible, but for most people, the time spent in the water should be limited to avoid hypothermia. Even experienced swimmers may feel discomfort if they stay in the water for too long. To improve comfort and safety, a wetsuit can be used. 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 Körös River in eastern Hungary is a calm and scenic waterway that plays an important role in local recreation. Its water temperature varies strongly with the seasons: in spring it can still be quite cool, around 12–16°C, while in the height of summer it often warms up to 22–25°C, and during hot spells even higher. These warm conditions in July and August make the river inviting for swimming in certain areas where bathing is permitted.
The Körös is popular not only for swimming but also for canoeing, kayaking, and fishing. Along its banks there are designated bathing spots, often with gentle entry points and grassy areas for sunbathing. However, as with most rivers, water quality and currents can change depending on weather and rainfall, so safe swimming is best enjoyed in marked or supervised sections.
