Water Temperature in Liège: General Trends and Swimming Opportunities

Liège is a city located in the Wallonia region of Belgium, situated along the Meuse River.

However, swimming in the Meuse River is not commonly practiced due to concerns about water quality, industrial activity, and the strong current in certain parts of the river. The Meuse is primarily used for boating, fishing, and other recreational activities rather than for swimming. During the winter months, the water temperature can drop significantly, typically ranging from 4°C to 7°C (39°F to 45°F), making swimming both uncomfortable and unsafe due to the cold water and strong currents.
