*** 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
Krefeld, located in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany, doesn't sit directly on the Rhine river but is quite nearby. The Rhine River, one of Europe's major waterways, has varying water temperatures depending on many factors such as the time of year, the weather, and the specific location along the river. Generally, during the summer months (from late June to early September), the temperature in the river can rise to about 20°C to 23°C (68°F to 73°F). On the other hand, during the winter months, the temperature can drop as low as 4°C to 6°C (39°F to 43°F).
In terms of swimming, it's important to note that the Rhine is a busy shipping route and hence isn't usually recommended for recreational swimming due to safety concerns. The currents can be quite strong and unpredictable, making it dangerous for both experienced and inexperienced swimmers. Also, the river can get polluted due to industrialization and shipping activities, which might affect water quality. Nonetheless, there are designated swimming areas and organized swimming events that take place in the Rhine, where safety measures are enforced, but these are usually not in the immediate proximity of Krefeld. Before attempting to swim in any part of the Rhine, it's advisable to check the local rules and regulations.
