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
Stourport-on-Severn, a riverside town in Worcestershire, England, lies along one of the gentlest and most scenic stretches of the River Severn. The water here is influenced by both rainfall from the Welsh hills and local weather conditions, giving it a moderate but variable temperature throughout the year. In winter, the river typically stays between 5 and 7°C (41–45°F), remaining cold and fast-flowing. During spring, temperatures gradually rise to about 10–13°C (50–55°F), while in midsummer, July and August usually bring the warmest conditions, with the Severn reaching 17–20°C (63–68°F). By autumn, it slowly cools again to around 12–14°C (54–57°F), maintaining a generally fresh character even in warm months.
Swimming in the River Severn at Stourport-on-Severn is possible but not officially encouraged due to the strong currents, boat traffic, and variable depths. Wild swimmers sometimes take to calmer backwaters or near the weir, but caution is always advised. Many visitors instead enjoy riverside walks, paddleboarding, or short boat trips along the canals that join the river. The town itself is known for its historic Georgian character, riverside amusement parks, and nearby countryside trails, making it a popular place for relaxation and water-based leisure without necessarily needing to dive in.
