Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast

❌ 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. 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

#Lancashire

Anglezarke Reservoir sits high on the moors of Lancashire and tends to be cold for much of the year. Typical seasonal surface temperatures might run roughly 1–6 °C (34–43 °F) in winter, warming to 4–12 °C (39–54 °F) through spring, and peaking around 12–18 °C (54–64 °F) in the warmest summer weeks; autumn usually sees a steady fall back into the 8–12 °C (46–54 °F) band. Those figures can vary with weather, depth and wind, and even in summer the water can feel brisk because of depth and limited sun exposure.

Swimming is generally not officially supported at Anglezarke: it is a working reservoir and access to the water is discouraged for reasons of water quality protection and safety. Cold-water shock, sudden drop-offs, submerged obstacles and lack of lifeguards make wild bathing risky, though some experienced open-water swimmers do enter at their own risk in nearby permissive sites. The area remains attractive for walkers and birdwatchers, with views towards Rivington Pike, Rivington Terraced Gardens and the wider West Pennine Moors offering good opportunities for hiking and photography.
