Abstrakt		Daily air temperatures and amount of precipitation were measured at Pogačnikov dom at Kriški podi in July 2002. Surface lake water temperatures in the three Kriško lakes, i.e. Zgornje Kriško jezero, Srednje Kriško jezero and Spodnje Kriško jezero, were also recorded. Vertical lake water temperatures were additionally measured in Srednje Kriško jezero and the heat content was calculated. Remarkable fluctuations of surface lake water temperatures were observed. Changes in the mean air temperature and amount of precipitation correlated well with variations of the surface lake water temperature. In the deeper water layers, a correlation between the lake water temperature and changes of meteorological parameters was lower. Lower lake water temperature variations were also observed in this lake section. Nevertheless, the thickness of the epilimnion and the metalimnion varied during the study. The former increased, while the latter shrank, as the days got warmer. The calculation of heat content showed that around 65% of the total heat content in Srednje Kriško jezero was stored in the upper two meters of the lake.
