*** Forecast - Our water temperature forecast
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
Schaerbeek is a district of Brussels, Belgium, located along the Senne River. The water temperature in the Senne River varies significantly throughout the year, with cooler temperatures in the winter and warmer temperatures in the summer. In the summer months, the water temperature in the Senne typically ranges from 15°C to 20°C (59°F to 68°F), which may seem suitable for swimming in calmer stretches of the river. However, swimming in the Senne is not recommended, and it is not a common activity in this part of the river. The river has faced significant pollution in the past due to industrial runoff and urban wastewater, and despite efforts to improve water quality, concerns remain. The Senne is mainly used for small-scale boating and as a scenic element in the city rather than for recreational swimming. During the winter months, the water temperature drops to between 4°C and 7°C (39°F to 45°F), making swimming unsafe due to the cold temperatures and potential risks associated with urban waterways.
