Actual nearshore water temperatures may fluctuate by several degrees from the reported values, especially following heavy rainfall or extended periods of strong winds. Certain wind patterns can cause colder, deeper waters to rise and replace the sun-warmed surface water, leading to noticeable variations.
Our forecast is based on a proprietary mathematical model that considers real-time water temperature changes, historical trends, key weather patterns, wind strength and direction, and air temperature specific to each region. Additionally, we incorporate data from other resorts to enhance accuracy.

Location & Local Information
Bilzen, a town in the province of Limburg in Belgium, is located along the Demer River, a tributary of the Scheldt. The Demer River runs through a mix of rural and urban landscapes, with water temperatures that typically range from 5-7°C (41-45°F) during the winter months to 15-18°C (59-64°F) in summer. The river is relatively shallow, with low to moderate flow, which means it heats up during warmer weather but still remains cool in the summer, particularly with its proximity to agricultural and urban runoff that can affect the water's quality.
Swimming in the Demer River in Bilzen is generally not advised due to concerns over water quality. The river passes through industrial and agricultural areas, which means that pollutants and contaminants can enter the water, particularly after heavy rainfall. While the river provides a picturesque natural setting and is ideal for walking, cycling, and enjoying the surrounding landscapes, its waters are not suitable for swimming. Local authorities recommend other recreational activities like kayaking or canoeing if you wish to enjoy the river safely.
