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
Perpignan is a city located in the southernmost part of France, in the Occitanie region, near the Mediterranean coast. The Têt River flows through the city and is a major feature of the surrounding landscape. The river’s water temperature varies throughout the year, influenced by the Mediterranean climate. During the hot summer months, the water temperature in the Têt River rises to around 20°C to 24°C (68°F to 75°F), making it suitable for swimming, especially in the calmer stretches of the river. The river is generally safe for swimming in these warmer months, although it’s important to check local conditions, such as water levels and flow, to ensure safety.
In spring and autumn, the water temperature tends to be cooler, usually ranging from 12°C to 18°C (54°F to 64°F), which can still be refreshing for a swim, though some may find it a bit chilly. During the winter, the river's temperature drops significantly, often below 10°C (50°F), making swimming less appealing. Despite these colder months, Perpignan’s proximity to the Mediterranean means there are many alternative swimming options at the nearby beaches, which are a popular choice for locals and tourists alike.
