*** 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

Tongeren is a city in the Flanders region of Belgium, situated along the Jeker River, a tributary of the Meuse River. The water temperature in the Jeker River varies with the seasons, with warmer temperatures in the summer and cooler temperatures in the winter. During the summer months, the water temperature in the Jeker typically ranges from 16°C to 20°C (61°F to 68°F), which can be suitable for swimming in certain calm sections of the river. However, swimming in the Jeker is not a popular or recommended activity due to concerns over water quality, as the river sometimes experiences pollution from surrounding agricultural and urban areas. Additionally, the river’s flow is relatively slow, and although it is used for some recreational activities, it is not known for being a major destination for swimming. In the winter, the water temperature drops to between 4°C and 7°C (39°F to 45°F), making swimming dangerous due to the cold water and potential health risks.
