Reno River — Current Water Temperature, Annual Trends and Forecast
This page provides information on the current water temperature in the Reno River, trends, monthly ranges and the forecast for the coming days.
Current Water Temperature
Water Temperature in the Reno River today is 17.9°C.
Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast
⚠️ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 60°F (15°C) to 65°F (18°C). The water is comfortable for most people, making it an ideal range for water sports enthusiasts. The temperature does not cause significant discomfort, and swimming will be pleasant for the majority. However, it's important to remember that prolonged exposure to the water can still lead to cooling, so it's essential to monitor the time spent in the water, especially for children or elderly people. 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.

Location & Local Information

Length 211.8 km (131.6 mi)
The Reno (Italian: Reno) originates in the Apennines on the Tuscan–Emilian border, and its water temperature varies widely with season, altitude and flow. In upper, mountain-fed stretches temperatures are coolest: in winter water commonly ranges around 4–8 °C (39–46 °F). During spring and early summer, as snowmelt and rains influence flow, temperatures typically rise to roughly 8–15 °C (46–59 °F). In lower, slow-moving reaches on warmer summer days the river can warm further, often reaching 15–26 °C (59–79 °F), while autumn sees a gradual fall back toward spring values. Local microclimates and recent weather (heat waves or heavy rains) can push these ranges higher or lower.
Swimming in the Reno is possible in many stretches, but it is not universally permitted or advisable everywhere. Authorities rarely impose a blanket ban, yet specific spots may be closed because of safety risks (strong currents, sudden depth changes, or upstream discharges), infrastructure such as weirs and bridges, or periodic water-quality concerns. Popular local bathing areas tend to be downstream pools or wider slow reaches in summer when temperatures are comfortable, but swimmers should heed signage, respect municipal rules, and be cautious after heavy rain when currents and turbidity increase.
