*** 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 Paka River flows through the Šaleška Valley in northern Slovenia, passing towns like Velenje before joining the Savinja. As a smaller river with both mountain and lowland influences, its water is generally cool in spring, often between 10–14°C, but in the summer months it can warm up in shallower stretches to around 18–22°C. These conditions make the river suitable for short dips during hot weather, though it is not considered a typical swimming river.
Locals sometimes use calmer sections for refreshing swims, especially near natural pools or slower bends, but the Paka is more commonly appreciated for walks along its banks and the shade it provides in summer. Its modest size and variable flow mean that it is more a place for quick cooling off than for extended bathing or organized recreation.
