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 Tisza River, one of Hungary’s great waterways, shows clear seasonal patterns in its water temperature. In summer, the river warms to a comfortable level, often reaching temperatures that make swimming pleasant and refreshing, especially during heat waves. In spring, the water stays cooler for longer due to snowmelt and rain from upstream regions, while in autumn it gradually loses warmth again. Winter brings very low temperatures, making the river unsuitable for bathing.
Swimming in the Tisza is possible in many places, especially where calmer stretches or designated beaches exist. Locals often enjoy cooling off in the river during the hot months, and some towns have sandy or grassy riverbanks that are popular for bathing. However, the current can be strong in certain sections, so swimming is safest in marked or well-known areas.
