Water Temperature in Saint-Amand-les-Eaux: General Trends and Swimming Opportunities
Saint-Amand-les-Eaux, located in the Hauts-de-France region, is a charming town known for its thermal spas and proximity to the Scarpe River. However, while the river adds to the town’s scenic appeal, it is not a popular location for recreational swimming. The water temperature in the Scarpe River is generally cool throughout the year, with summer highs typically ranging from 15°C to 18°C, which makes swimming uncomfortable for most people. The river’s current, particularly in certain sections, can also be quite strong, adding to the difficulty and potential danger of swimming.
In addition to the cool water temperatures, the quality of the river water can also be a concern. Like many rivers that flow through urban and industrial areas, the Scarpe River may experience pollution from runoff, agricultural activities, and urban waste. Although efforts have been made to improve water quality, swimming in the river is still not advisable due to the potential risks of exposure to harmful bacteria and contaminants. Instead, visitors to Saint-Amand-les-Eaux are more likely to enjoy other outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing, or visiting the local thermal baths, which are known for their health benefits.
For those seeking a more suitable and safer swimming experience, the town has several swimming pools, as well as nearby lakes where the water quality is better and more appropriate for recreational swimming. The Scarpe River itself, though picturesque, is best enjoyed from the riverbanks or during a peaceful boat ride rather than for swimming.
