Water Temperature in Lingen: General Trends and Swimming Opportunities
Lingen is a city located in Lower Saxony, Germany, nestled on the banks of the Ems river. The Ems river is a substantial water body in the country, at approximately 371 kilometers long, passing through several towns and cities including Lingen. It is a significant leisure spot for locals and tourists, but its water temperature can vary dramatically across months and seasons. Whereas the water temperature during summer (June, July, August) can reach 15 to 20 degrees Celsius making it quite cool but bearable for swimming, during the winter months (December, January, February), the temperature can drop significantly, sometimes below 10 degrees Celsius, which is usually too cold for recreational swimming.
The possibility for swimming in the Ems river in Lingen would largely depend on these seasonally changing temperatures and one's personal tolerance for cold water. While swimming is technically possible, it is always necessary to consider safeties and local regulations. Factoring in the colder months, the rapidly changing currents and the potential for heavy boat traffic, swimming might not always be advisable. The local authorities and/or water sports clubs in Lingen, like all other cities that the Ems River flows through, regulate the use of the river for recreational activities including swimming, thus one should always verify with them about the conditions and restrictions before attempting to swim in the river.
