Water Temperature in Brugge: General Trends and Swimming Opportunities

Original name: Bruges

Brugge, a historic city in Belgium, is located on the banks of the Coupure Canal, a man-made waterway that flows through the city and connects to the Zwin Estuary. The water temperature in the Coupure Canal varies throughout the year, with colder temperatures in the winter, averaging around 5-7°C (41-45°F), and warmer temperatures in the summer, often reaching 18-22°C (64-72°F). Although the summer months can offer a pleasant temperature for water activities, the water remains relatively cool even in the warm season, as the canal is subject to external factors like rainfall and urban runoff.

Swimming in the Coupure Canal is not advised for several reasons. Firstly, the water quality in urban canals can be inconsistent due to pollution from nearby industries, urban runoff, and occasional flooding. Although the canal is used for some recreational activities like boating and kayaking, authorities do not recommend swimming in it due to health risks from potential contaminants. The flow is also relatively slow, which could lead to a stagnant water environment in certain parts of the canal, further reducing its suitability for swimming.
