*** 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

Ulm is a historic city located in the state of Baden-Württemberg, Germany, which is situated along the banks of the river Danube. The Danube River is one of the longest rivers in Europe and its water temperature varies quite significantly throughout the year due to seasonal changes and environmental conditions. In the summer months (from June to August), the temperature tends to range between 20°C and 22°C, making it quite cool yet comfortable for swimming. However, in the cooler months (from November to March), the water temperature drops significantly to 4°C - 10°C which may not be suitable or safe for regular swimming.

While the water quality has improved over the last years, it still can contain river-specific pollutants, sediments and microbes, which could be harmful. Also, the Danube tends to have strong flows and currents which could pose a risk to swimmers, particularly those who are not well equipped or trained. Therefore, In the city of Ulm, swimming in the Danube River is generally discouraged. However, in some parts along the river where it is deemed safe and the water quality is monitored regularly, swimming might be possible under controlled conditions.
