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
The city of Kleve is situated in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, and although it's near the Rhine River, it's not directly on its banks. The Rhine River plays an integral part in the region's natural and cultural identity, and it indeed has a significant impact on the local climate and environment. The water temperature of the Rhine River varies greatly depending on the season. In the summer months, around June to August, the water temperature can range from about 20°C-22°C (68°F-72°F), making these months the most suitable for swimming. However, during the colder months, the water temperature can significantly drop to as low as 4°C-6°C (39°F-43°F), making swimming rather challenging, if not impossible for most.
Regardless of the season, those who plan to swim in the Rhine River must keep in mind the potential hazards. This river is one of the most trafficked waterways globally, making it less ideal for swimming due to safety reasons. Furthermore, it has strong currents and underwater whirlpools, which may prove dangerous for even the most experienced swimmers. Also, water quality can be an issue due to industrial discharge and pollution. Hence, it's always essential to check local regulations and advisory warnings before planning a swim in the Rhine. Various riverside beaches and lidos offer safer alternatives for swimming near Kleve.
