*** 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
#Norfolk
Calthorpe Broad, one of the shallow lakes in the Norfolk Broads, typically follows the same seasonal patterns as other broads in the area. Surface water temperature in winter commonly ranges from about 2–6 °C (36–43 °F), rising in spring to roughly 6–12 °C (43–54 °F). In summer the broad can warm to around 15–22 °C (59–72 °F) on milder years, then cool through autumn to about 8–14 °C (46–57 °F). Local weather, depth and aquatic vegetation all influence these figures, so temperatures can vary from year to year.
Swimming at Calthorpe Broad is not a straightforward public amenity: access and informal wild swimming may be limited or discouraged because of private ownership, conservation designations, boating activity and variable water quality and depth. Visitors should heed local signage and landowner guidance and take care with boat traffic if they choose to enter the water. The surrounding Broads offer other attractions nearby, including boat hire and river cruises, rich birdlife and nature trails, and several attractive villages with pubs and visitor facilities for those who prefer to enjoy the landscape from shore.
