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
Menen is a city located in the Flanders region of Belgium, along the Lys River (also known as the Leie River). The water temperature in the Lys River varies with the seasons, being warmer in the summer and cooler in the winter. During the summer months, the water temperature can range from 18°C to 22°C (64°F to 72°F), making swimming more comfortable in some of the calmer areas of the river. However, swimming in the Lys River is not commonly practiced due to the river's strong current, potential water quality issues, and debris in certain areas. The river is primarily used for recreational activities like boating, fishing, and cycling along its banks rather than for swimming. In the winter, the water temperature can drop significantly, typically ranging from 4°C to 7°C (39°F to 45°F), making swimming unsafe and unpleasant due to the cold water and strong currents.
