*** 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
Villeurbanne, located just east of Lyon in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France, lies along the Rhône River. While the city itself is an urban area with a mix of residential and commercial zones, the Rhône River nearby provides opportunities for water activities. Swimming directly in the Rhône within the city limits is generally not recommended due to strong currents, boat traffic, and the river’s industrial history. The water temperature in the Rhône River in the summer can reach between 18°C to 22°C (64°F to 72°F), which can be pleasant, but the current and the urban environment discourage public swimming in the river itself.
For safer swimming options, Villeurbanne residents and visitors often turn to nearby pools and lakes. The Parc de la Tête d'Or in Lyon, a short distance from Villeurbanne, offers a large lake for various activities, including swimming, with water temperatures in summer often ranging between 20°C to 24°C (68°F to 75°F), ideal for leisure and recreation. Villeurbanne is well-connected to the city of Lyon, where more formal swimming opportunities can be found at public pools, making it an attractive option for those looking to swim in a safer and more controlled environment.
