*** 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
Dessau is a city in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, located on the junction of the Mulde and the Elbe Rivers. The Mulde River is a significant feature of the city, offering not just scenic beauty but also opportunities for various recreational activities. However, there's not much information available on the exact temperature of the Mulde River all year round, as it can vary greatly depending on the time of year, surrounding weather conditions, water flow, and depth.
As for swimming in the Mulde River, it should be noted that while swimming in rivers can be a refreshing experience, it may also come with certain risks. The primary concern is that rivers have an unpredictable nature - strong currents, sudden deep spots, and underwater hazards can pose risks to the unwary swimmer. Water quality can also vary based on many factors such as rain-running agricultural or urban waste, affecting the cleanliness and safety of the river for recreational use. Before deciding to swim in a river, it's recommended to check local regulations and advisories from the local health department or local authorities. Furthermore, always ensure that you're well-prepared and vigilant when swimming in open water like rivers.
