Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast

⚠️ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 60°F (15°C) to 65°F (18°C). The water is comfortable for most people, making it an ideal range for water sports enthusiasts. The temperature does not cause significant discomfort, and swimming will be pleasant for the majority. However, it's important to remember that prolonged exposure to the water can still lead to cooling, so it's essential to monitor the time spent in the water, especially for children or elderly people. It is important to note that these swimming tips and recommendations apply only in good weather. When the air temperature is below 68°F (20°C), and sometimes even below 77°F (25°C), swimming can be unpleasant even with relatively high water temperatures.

*** 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

The market town of Goole sits on the River Ouse, where the waterway is heavily influenced by its proximity to the Humber Estuary and the North Sea. Consequently, the water temperature of the Ouse near Goole tends to be cold and is subject to tidal shifts. In the winter months, temperatures are likely to be in the chilling range of 4 to 8∘C (39 to 46∘F). During the summer, the water may warm slightly, peaking in the range of 16 to 20∘C (61 to 68∘F) on the warmest days, though this is brief.

Swimming in the River Ouse at Goole is strongly discouraged and is generally prohibited due to significant health and safety risks. The river here is a busy, commercial navigation route with strong, unpredictable currents and tidal influences that pose a severe threat to life, even for strong swimmers. Furthermore, the water quality is questionable, with the river known to carry industrial, agricultural, and sewage runoff, creating a high risk of illness. Instead, visitors can explore the town's history at the Yorkshire Waterways Museum, view the distinctive 'Salt and Pepper Pot' water towers, or enjoy birdwatching at the nearby Blacktoft Sands Nature Reserve.
