*** 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.
