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.

Location & Local Information
The Šyša River (Lithuanian: Šyša) is a small lowland watercourse whose temperature varies markedly through the year. In winter the water is typically close to freezing, around 0 °C (32 °F) and often covered by ice, making swimming impractical and unsafe. Spring sees a gradual warming, with typical values from about 1–12 °C (34–54 °F) as snowmelt and rainfall keep flows cool. Summer is when the river reaches its warmest, commonly between 15–22 °C (59–72 °F) in main channels, with shallow, sunlit stretches occasionally rising to roughly 24 °C (75 °F). In autumn the temperature drops again, generally ranging from 5–15 °C (41–59 °F) as nights lengthen and river levels change.
Recreational swimming in the Šyša is generally allowed in Lithuania unless local authorities post restrictions for safety or water-quality reasons; there are no nationwide prohibitions specific to the river itself. However, swimmers should be cautious: water quality can deteriorate after heavy rains or due to agricultural runoff, currents and submerged obstacles can be hazardous, and lifeguards are uncommon outside established bathing sites. Cold-water shock and hypothermia remain risks even in shoulder seasons, so checking local signage, recent water-quality information, and entering slowly are sensible precautions before swimming.
