However, Baltic Sea temperatures typically range from 17-20°C in summer, which some find cool. Lifeguards patrol during peak season. Be aware that currents can strengthen during windy conditions, and jellyfish occasionally appear in late summer. Always check local weather forecasts and flag warnings before entering the water.
