⚠️ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 54°F (12°C) to 60°F (15°C). The water is significantly warmer, and swimming becomes possible for most people. However, caution may still be required for prolonged stays in the water, as extended exposure can cause discomfort. This is a suitable temperature range for short swims and for those accustomed to cooler water. For more comfortable swimming, it is recommended to use proper gear. It is important to note that these swimming tips and recommendations apply only in good weather. When the air temperature is below 68°F (20°C), and sometimes even below 77°F (25°C), swimming can be unpleasant even with relatively high water temperatures.

*** 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
Kassel, the city in Hesse, Germany, lies along the Fulda River, which is a major water body cutting across the state of Hesse. The water temperature of the Fulda River fluctuates throughout the year, heavily influenced by the changing seasons. In the summer months, the temperature typically rises to a more comfortable range of about 16-20°C (60-68°F). However, during winter, the temperature can drastically drop, often falling below 0°C (32°F), rendering the river too cold to swim in.
As far as swimming in the Fulda River is concerned, it is technically feasible, especially during the summer months when the temperature is above 18°C (64.4°F) which is considered safe for swimming. However, local regulations and safety considerations must be adhered to. It's critical to note that swimming in rivers can have its own set of dangers - unpredictable currents, sudden drop-offs, and underwater debris can pose significant risks. Although not extremely common, some residents and tourists do partake in the activity. It is recommended to stick to designated swimming spots or areas that are known to be safe and have been previously evaluated for potential risks.
