*** 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
Mulhouse, located in the Alsace region of northeastern France, sits along the Ill River, a tributary of the Rhine. The Ill River experiences a temperate climate with varying water temperatures throughout the year. During the colder months, from December to February, the water temperature can drop to around 4°C to 6°C, making swimming conditions unsafe and uncomfortable. As the weather warms up in spring, the river’s temperature rises, reaching around 10°C to 12°C by May. In summer, the water temperature can rise to 18°C to 20°C, offering more favorable conditions for swimming, especially during the hottest months of July and August. However, the temperature can still fluctuate due to factors like rainfall and water flow, which can affect the overall swimming experience.
While the Ill River itself is not typically used for recreational swimming due to the lack of designated swimming areas and potential safety risks from currents, Mulhouse offers several other opportunities for water activities. The city is home to public swimming pools and nearby lakes, such as the Lac de la Hardt, where residents and tourists can swim safely. The river’s calm stretches are often used for boating and kayaking, but swimming in the Ill River is not a common practice due to safety and accessibility concerns. For those seeking swimming experiences, local pools or other water bodies are recommended.
