Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast
❌ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 41°F (5°C) to 47°F (8°C). This water temperature is still quite low, and swimming in such conditions may only be comfortable for hardened individuals. It is recommended to limit the time spent in the water to avoid hypothermia. For those not accustomed to cold water, it is better to refrain from swimming. However, if you decide to enter the water, it is advisable to wear a warm wetsuit for protection against the cold. 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 Möll River, located in the Austrian state of Carinthia, is a tributary of the Drava River and originates in the Hohe Tauern National Park near the Grossglockner, Austria’s highest peak. Known for its pristine alpine waters, the Möll flows through picturesque valleys and villages before joining the Drava near Möllbrücke. Due to its source in glacial meltwater, the river remains relatively cold throughout the year. During summer, water temperatures in the lower stretches can range from 10°C to 16°C (50°F to 61°F), which may appeal to those seeking a refreshing dip but can be too chilly for extended swimming.
Swimming in the Möll is possible in calmer stretches of the river, though it is not widely practiced due to the cold water and varying flow conditions. The river is more popular for adventurous activities such as kayaking and rafting, thanks to its dynamic flow and clear waters. For those looking to enjoy swimming in a warmer setting, nearby lakes or public pools in Carinthia are more suitable alternatives. Visitors to the area can also enjoy hiking along the riverbanks and taking in the stunning alpine scenery.
