Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast
❌ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 47°F (8°C) to 50°F (10°C). This is still cool water, suitable only for experienced swimmers or those accustomed to cold water. Swimming in such conditions is possible, but not recommended for prolonged periods. Extra caution should be taken during extended exposure, as the cold water can cause heat loss and lead to hypothermia. For added comfort, special clothing 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 Mituva River in Lithuania experiences marked seasonal changes in water temperature. In winter the river commonly approaches freezing and can be close to 0–2 °C (32–36 °F), often forming ice cover in colder periods. During the spring thaw temperatures typically rise to roughly 4–10 °C (39–50 °F) as runoff and melting snow keep the water cool. In summer the Mituva is warmest, with surface temperatures commonly in the 17–22 °C range (63–72 °F) and occasionally reaching around 24 °C (75 °F) during hot spells. Autumn sees a steady cooling, with temperatures often between 8–14 °C (46–57 °F) as air temperatures decline and river flow patterns shift.
Swimming in the Mituva is commonly practiced in warmer months and is generally permitted in many stretches, but opportunities depend on local conditions and any municipal restrictions. Recreational swimming is viable when temperatures are in the summer range, but swimmers should be mindful of variable depth, submerged hazards and occasionally strong currents—especially during spring runoff—plus the typical absence of lifeguards at informal spots. Water quality can vary, so checking local monitoring or designated bathing areas is advisable. Winter swimming or ice dipping is undertaken by some with proper precautions, but most people avoid regular swimming when temperatures fall toward freezing.
