*** 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

Chalon-sur-Saône, located in the Burgundy region of France, sits along the banks of the Saône River, providing scenic views and a variety of water activities. The Saône River is not typically known as a prime destination for swimming due to its strong currents and fluctuating water levels, particularly in the deeper sections. While swimming is possible in certain shallower areas, caution is advised because of the river's variable flow and the occasional presence of obstacles like debris or sudden drops in depth. The water temperature in the Saône can vary depending on the season, with summer months offering relatively mild temperatures ranging from 18°C to 22°C (64°F to 72°F). During the warmer months, the water becomes more suitable for short swims, but the temperature might still feel slightly cool for some.
