Water Temperature in Metz: General Trends and Swimming Opportunities

Metz, located in the northeast of France along the Moselle River, experiences a temperate climate with a wide range of water temperatures throughout the year. In winter, the Moselle River's water temperature typically drops to around 3°C to 5°C, making swimming unsafe and unpleasant. As spring approaches, the water gradually warms up, reaching temperatures of around 10°C to 12°C by late April and May. By mid-summer, the river's temperature can rise to 18°C to 22°C, which is more suitable for swimming, particularly in August when it is warmest. However, the water temperature can fluctuate depending on rainfall and seasonal weather patterns.

Metz does not have designated public swimming areas along the Moselle River itself, but the river is a popular spot for boat tours and leisure activities. While the river's flow is relatively calm in many sections, swimming in the Moselle is not commonly practiced, primarily due to safety concerns such as swift currents and the lack of swimming infrastructure. For a safe swimming experience, residents and visitors tend to favor local pools or other water bodies such as nearby lakes. The surrounding parks and riverbanks are ideal for walking and cycling, offering scenic views of the city and the river, but for swimming, other options like public pools or lakes are preferred.
