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 Ogre River, flowing through the town of Ogre in central Latvia, experiences marked seasonal changes in water temperature. In winter the river is close to freezing, commonly around 0 °C (32 °F) and often covered by ice for weeks. During spring the water warms gradually, typically ranging from about 1–10 °C (34–50 °F) as snowmelt and rainfall raise flow and lower temperature variability. Summer is the warmest period for the river, with surface temperatures commonly between 16–22 °C (61–72 °F) on sunny, calm stretches, though cooler pockets persist in shaded or fast-flowing sections. In autumn temperatures fall again to roughly 6–12 °C (43–54 °F) before the onset of freeze-up.
Swimming in the Ogre River is generally permitted, but opportunities are conditional. Local residents often swim in summer when temperatures reach comfortable levels and water quality is monitored at designated bathing spots. Outside of those times swimmers should be cautious: currents, variable depth, submerged obstacles and colder temperatures in spring and autumn increase risk of hypothermia or cold-water shock, while winter ice makes swimming hazardous. For safer swimming choose monitored locations during warm months, observe local advisories about water quality, and avoid solitary or unprepared excursions.
