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
Kehl is a small German town located on the eastern bank of the Rhine River, directly across from the French city of Strasbourg. The town benefits from its proximity to the Rhine, which serves as both a natural border and a significant recreational area. The Rhine offers plenty of outdoor activities such as cycling, walking along its banks, and swimming in designated spots during the warmer months. Swimming in the Rhine, however, is regulated due to strong currents. In summer, the water temperature in the Rhine typically ranges between 17°C and 22°C (63°F to 72°F), making it ideal for a refreshing dip in the controlled areas.
The Rhine's economic importance to Kehl is notable, as it is part of a major European waterway that facilitates transportation and trade. The port of Kehl plays a vital role in logistics, allowing the movement of goods along the river, which connects the town to broader European markets.
