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
Hattingen is a scenic city located in the North Rhine-Westphalia region of Germany. The city borders the River Ruhr, not the Roer (Rur) River. The Ruhr River has played a significant role in not only defining the city's topography but also its historical industrial development.
Water temperature in the Ruhr River varies throughout the year, similar to any freshwater river. Usually, it can be cold, especially during the non-summer months, thus limiting swimming activities. The water temperature can drop below 10 degrees Celsius during winter times, while it warths up a bit during summer to around 18-22 degrees Celsius. However, even with this change in temperature, the possibility for swimming in the river can be limited due to various factors. Public Swimming in rivers in Germany is regulated by law, and one can only swim in designated safe and clean areas. While there are numerous recreational activities available on the Ruhr for locals and visitors to enjoy, such as boating and riverside hiking, the specific permissions for swimming may vary in different areas. It is always advisable to follow local advice, respect safety signs and check with local authorities before deciding to swim in the river.
