If you were thinking of cooling off a little in the Adriatic Sea then we have some great news. Whereas the temperature of the sea would normally be around between 18 and 22 degrees Celsius at this time of year today in Piran the temperature was measured at 24 degrees Celsius.

The temperature of the water in the Adriatic sea in Piran has reached 24 degrees Celsius and more and more locals and tourists don’t want to miss the chance to jump into the water and go swimming. While there are no beaches in Piran you can swim off one of the many piers along the harbour. (Image by Michael Matti / Slovenia.info)

Another great news is that Lake Bled is getting warmer too. The official bathing season has not yet started, but the temperature of the lake is already nice enough for many bathers at 21 degrees Celsius. Lake Bled is known for having the longest swimming season of any alpine lake in Europe (from June to late September).
