Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast
✅ As of today, the minimum water temperature is above 82°F (28°C). This is very warm water, which may feel almost hot to most people. Swimming in such conditions is perfect for those seeking relaxation and comfort in the water. These waters are often preferred for relaxation in hot weather, as the water temperature does not cool the body significantly. However, it is important to remember that in such warm waters, caution is necessary, as prolonged exposure without rest can lead to overheating. 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 Río Mijares in Aragon is a mountain river whose water temperature varies strongly with season and elevation. In the high reaches during winter the river can be very cold, commonly around 2–8 °C (36–46 °F). In spring, melting snow and higher flows usually keep it cool, roughly 8–14 °C (46–57 °F). By summer, slower pools and lower flow sections warm up and are often in the 16–24 °C range (61–75 °F), with isolated sunlit pools occasionally reaching the mid‑20s °C (mid‑70s °F) during heat waves. Autumn sees temperatures fall again, typically between 10–16 °C (50–61 °F) as rains and cooler air reduce surface warmth.
Swimming in the Río Mijares is commonly practiced in suitable stretches, especially in summer when temperatures are comfortable; there are no blanket bans across the river because it is a public watercourse, but local rules, protected-area restrictions or safety advisories may apply in specific spots. Caution is advised due to cold water shock in winter and spring, strong currents in narrow gorges, submerged rocks and sudden rises in flow after storms. Water quality can vary after heavy rain. Choosing well‑known bathing pools, checking local guidance and avoiding risky sections near dams or rapids makes swimming far safer.
