Water Temperature in Abbeville: General Trends and Swimming Opportunities

Abbeville, located on the Somme River in the Hauts-de-France region, is a city with scenic views of the river, which meanders through the countryside before reaching the English Channel. The water temperature in the Somme River varies significantly throughout the year. During the colder months, from November to March, the water temperature can drop to around 5°C to 8°C. This makes swimming in the river during this period both uncomfortable and unsafe due to the cold water and stronger currents, which can increase the risk of hypothermia and strong undertows.

However, during the warmer months, from late spring to early autumn (April to September), the temperature of the Somme River rises to more swimmable levels. Water temperatures typically range from 12°C to 18°C, reaching up to 20°C on hot summer days. While this can make swimming more pleasant, it is still advisable to exercise caution when swimming, as the river's flow can be unpredictable and faster after heavy rainfall, especially in the upper reaches of the river near Abbeville. Additionally, the depth of certain sections may make swimming less accessible or more challenging.

For those looking for a safer and more controlled environment for swimming, there are alternative options such as public swimming pools or designated swimming areas in lakes nearby. While the Somme River offers beautiful landscapes for boating, kayaking, and fishing, it is not typically considered a major swimming destination, especially outside of the summer months.
