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
Kempten (Allgäu) is a historically significant city located in the Southern region of Germany, specifically Bavaria. This district town is in proximity to the Iller River, a prominent tributary of the Danube. This river spans 147 kilometers, feeding from alpine sources, thus its temperature fluctuates seasonally, but typically it remains rather cold with an average temperature rarely exceeding 20 degrees Celsius even in the warmest summer months. The water's temperature is greatly influenced by weather conditions, precipitation, and the melting of snow in the Alps.
As for swimming in the Iller River, it is generally not recommended due to the high currents and the river's rapid flow, especially in certain sections with treacherous waters. The river is better suited for kayaking or rafting under professional guidance. However, the region surrounding Kempten (Allgäu) does offer other options for swimming enthusiasts, for example, the Cambomare swimming and sauna park in Kempten itself. In addition, there are some natural bathing lakes in the Allgäu region where one can swim during the warmer months. Always remember that it's recommended to swim only in designated areas where the water conditions are monitored for safety.
