⚠️ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 54°F (12°C) to 60°F (15°C). The water is significantly warmer, and swimming becomes possible for most people. However, caution may still be required for prolonged stays in the water, as extended exposure can cause discomfort. This is a suitable temperature range for short swims and for those accustomed to cooler water. For more comfortable swimming, it is recommended to use proper gear.

*** 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 River Avon in Warwick is a relatively cool inland waterway, with seasonal water temperatures reflecting the British climate. In the winter, temperatures can drop to a bracing 3∘C to 6∘C (37∘F to 43∘F), while summer sees a warming trend, peaking around 16∘C to 20∘C (61∘F to 68∘F), though these can be slightly higher in shallower areas. Despite these milder summer temperatures, swimming in the River Avon in Warwick is generally discouraged and can be prohibited in certain sections near bridges and locks by the local council and navigation authority.
The main reasons for the discouragement of river swimming are safety risks like strong currents, submerged objects, and the dangers of jumping from bridges, which have led to serious incidents. Additionally, water quality can be variable due to agricultural runoff and sewage overflows, which often place the river at an undesignated bathing status. Instead of swimming, visitors to Warwick can enjoy scenic boat hire, canoeing, or leisurely walks along the riverbanks at St. Nicholas Park, with the imposing Warwick Castle providing a dramatic backdrop. Other notable nearby attractions include the medieval Lord Leycester Hospital and the Collegiate Church of St Mary.
