Water Temperature in Arnhem: General Trends and Swimming Opportunities
In Arnhem, located along the Nederrijn river, swimming is technically possible, but it is not recommended for the general public due to the river’s fluctuating water quality and swift currents. The water temperature in the Nederrijn can range from 4°C (39°F) in the winter months to a more comfortable 18-22°C (64-72°F) during the summer, although it can occasionally climb higher in hot weather. While these summer temperatures might seem inviting for a swim, strong river currents and the potential presence of waterborne contaminants make swimming in the river risky. Local authorities generally advise against recreational swimming in these conditions, encouraging residents and tourists to use designated swimming areas or local swimming pools instead.
