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.

The Ombrone (in Italian: Ombrone) is a medium‑sized Tuscan river whose water temperature varies with season, depth and flow. Typical seasonal surface temperatures range approximately from 5–9 °C (41–48 °F) in winter, 8–15 °C (46–59 °F) in spring, 18–26 °C (64–79 °F) in summer and 10–16 °C (50–61 °F) in autumn. Shallow, slow pools and stretches exposed to sun can warm toward the upper end of the summer range, while colder springs and faster channels remain several degrees cooler. Short‑term weather, snowmelt and rainfall events can also produce noticeable swings in temperature.
Swimming in the Ombrone is commonly done in summer in calmer, shallower sections, but it is not uniformly regulated the way coastal bathing is; local rules, water quality and safety considerations determine whether a given spot is advisable. Authorities may prohibit bathing temporarily after heavy rains because runoff and increased turbidity can raise contamination risks, and many riverbanks lack lifeguards or clear depth markings. Currents, submerged obstacles and cooler water outside midsummer make caution important. If you plan to swim, choose well‑known local spots, heed signage and recent water‑quality notices, and avoid entering after storms or where currents are strong.
