*** 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
Mülheim an der Ruhr is a city located in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, and is known for its scenic beauty largely contributed by the River Ruhr that flows through the city. However, the River Ruhr, is a significant commercial waterway and while it does offer some recreational opportunities, swimming in the river may not be advisable for a few reasons.
To start with, the water temperature of the River Ruhr can vary significantly depending on the time of year. It can get quite cold, particularly outside the summer months, which isn't ideal for swimming. It's also important to note that rivers can carry a strong current, and can be unpredictable and dangerous. Also, even though the water quality of the River Ruhr has improved significantly over recent decades, it is still affected by industrial and agricultural runoff which could pose health risks to anyone swimming in it. It's also worth mentioning that while there are some areas where swimming is allowed, there are also many stretches of the river where swimming is strictly forbidden due to the river's usage for shipping and other commercial activities.
Therefore, while taking a dip in the river might be tempting, especially during the hot summer days, it's best to swim in designated areas that are deemed safe by local authorities, or even better, opt for swimming pools or other controlled environments that are specifically designed for recreational swimming.
