Water Temperature in Wevelgem: General Trends and Swimming Opportunities
Wevelgem is a city in the Flanders region of Belgium, located along the Lys River (Leie River), which flows through the area into France. The water temperature in the Lys River changes with the seasons, typically cooler in the winter and warmer in the summer. During the warmer months, from late spring to early autumn, the water temperature in the river generally ranges from 16°C to 20°C (61°F to 68°F), which may be considered comfortable for swimming in the calmer parts of the river. However, swimming in the Lys River is not widely practiced in Wevelgem, as the water quality can be an issue. Pollution from agricultural runoff, industrial activities, and urban sources can sometimes affect the river's cleanliness, making swimming potentially unsafe.
