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.

Location & Local Information
The Meža River flows through the northern part of Slovenia, running from Austria into the Mežica Valley and later joining the Drava. As a mountain-influenced river, its waters are generally cool, especially in spring and early summer, when temperatures range from about 10–14°C. In the warmer months, calmer and shallower sections may reach 18–20°C, which can be refreshing for short swims but still cooler than most lowland rivers.
Swimming in the Meža is not widespread, as the river is relatively narrow and its flow varies depending on rainfall and snowmelt. Nevertheless, on hot days locals sometimes take quick dips in calmer pools or bends. The river is more often enjoyed for its natural setting, as a place to relax, walk along, or simply cool off at the banks rather than being considered a common bathing river.
