Bathing|In such warm weather, the surface water can warm up to a degree or two in a day, says the team leader of the City of Helsinki’s local sports club.
Swimming waters are exceptionally warm for the time in the capital region.
On Monday morning, the swimming water was the warmest at the measurement point of Lauttasaari outdoor park. The water temperature was 24.4 degrees, it turns out From the Uiras service.
The team leader of the local sports club of the city of Helsinki Jukka Lundgren’s according to such warm weather, the swimming waters can “easily” warm up a degree or two in a day. He says that just a couple of weeks ago the water temperature was below ten degrees.
Fishing port was one of the warmest swimming spots, as the water there was over 21 degrees. According to Lundgren, Kalasatama is such a place that the water does not change much there.
It hasn’t been windy lately, so the water hasn’t changed either. That’s why the water there is very warm.
Lundgren considers it exceptional that the water at Marjaniemi’s beach is as warm as over 20 degrees. On the other hand, Pihlajasaari has cold swimming water, less than 15 degrees. According to Lundgren, it is due to the fact that it is located a little further out at sea.
There is no swimming ban on any beach in Helsinki.

In the warm ones blue-green algae can also grow in the water. According to Lundgren, there is a risk that algae would appear in the waters earlier than usual. Starting next Monday ulokuliikunta.fi– website is updated with up-to-date algae data.
Also, the lifeguards will not start their work until Monday of next week. Lundgren reminds that the responsibility in the water lies with the swimmer himself or his guardians. Non-swimmers should be kept no more than an arm’s length away, he says.
“The danger is that if the swimming waters are very warm, even people without swimming skills will enter the water. We noticed it a few years ago, when the waters were over 25 degrees and it was a bit crazy,” he says.
“You have to remember to take care of your loved ones.”
