*** 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
#Worcestershire
Arrow Valley Lake, in Worcestershire's Arrow Valley Country Park near Redditch, is a managed reservoir used mainly for boating, sailing and angling rather than casual bathing. Water temperatures change with the seasons: winter surface values commonly sit around 2–6 °C (36–43 °F), spring typically warms to about 6–13 °C (43–55 °F), summer can reach roughly 15–22 °C (59–72 °F) on warm days, and autumn usually falls back to around 8–14 °C (46–57 °F). Because the lake is relatively shallow and fed by local streams, conditions can shift quickly with weather and daylight.
Open swimming is generally discouraged and is not promoted as a public bathing option due to safety concerns such as cold water shock, submerged hazards, interactions with boats and anglers, and variable water quality; organized or supervised events may be permitted under council rules. Visitors commonly use the surrounding country park for walking and cycling, visit the sailing club, enjoy play areas and a visitor centre, or explore nearby local attractions such as the Forge Mill Needle Museum and other Redditch amenities.
