*** 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
Hanau, located in the German state of Hesse, is a historically rich city on the banks of the Main River. The Main River, one of Germany's major waterways, has water temperatures that fluctuate throughout the year. On average, during the summer months, from June to August, the temperature can climb to a favorable 20 degrees Celsius (68°F), making it a generally suitable time for swimming or other water activities. It's important to note, however, that the water temperature can drop significantly in the colder months, averaging around 4-5 degrees Celsius (39-41°F) in the winter, which makes swimming less appealing and potentially unsafe.
Despite the favorable water temperatures in the summer, it's important to consider the water quality and river currents before deciding to go swimming. The Main River, as it passes through various cities, including Frankfurt, hosts several ship traffic and may contain pollutants not ideal for swimming. Furthermore, the river's currents can vary greatly - although it may seem calm on the surface, underlying currents might pose potential risks. You should always consult local regulations or authorities before deciding to swim in the river, to ensure you are swimming in a designated area where it's considered safe to do so.
