❌ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 50°F (10°C) to 54°F (12°C). The water is slightly warmer, but still cool for most people. Swimming in such conditions is possible, but for most people, the time spent in the water should be limited to avoid hypothermia. Even experienced swimmers may feel discomfort if they stay in the water for too long. To improve comfort and safety, a wetsuit can be used. It is important to note that these swimming tips and recommendations apply only in good weather.

*** 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
Bingley is a West Yorkshire town situated in the Aire Valley, with the River Aire passing directly through it. Water temperatures in this stretch of the river generally reflect the air temperature fluctuations in northern England. Seasonal ranges typically see the water cooling to approximately 4∘C to 8∘C (39∘F to 46∘F) during the winter. In the warmer summer months, the water can increase to a more comfortable range, often peaking between 16∘C and 20∘C (61∘F and 68∘F).
Despite the river flowing through the town, swimming in the River Aire at Bingley is not formally permitted and is strongly discouraged for safety and water quality reasons. The river contains hazards such as strong, hidden currents, particularly near the town's famous engineering marvels, the Bingley Five Rise Locks, and there are potential issues with water quality from various sources. Instead of river swimming, visitors to Bingley can enjoy the area’s other key attractions, notably the Bingley Five Rise Locks on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal and the extensive woodlands and parkland of the St Ives Estate.
