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.

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.
