| Lake Tahoe's water temperature near the surface generally cools to 40 to 50°F (4.5 to 10°C) during February and March and warms to 65 to 70°F (18 to 21°C) during August and September. Below a depth of 600 to 700 feet (183 to 213 m), the water temperature remains a constant 39°F (4.0°C).
The waters of Lake Tahoe, however, are warming up at almost twice the rate of the world's oceans, probably as a consequence of global climate change, according to a new study by University of California at Davis scientists. Click here to read an article on the subject.
