*** 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
#Warwickshire
Draycote Water in Warwickshire is a large reservoir whose surface temperatures vary with the seasons. In winter the water commonly sits around 4–8 °C (39–46 °F), spring temperatures rise to roughly 6–12 °C (43–54 °F), summer can bring warmer pockets of around 15–22 °C (59–72 °F) on sunny days, and autumn cooling generally falls back toward 10–15 °C (50–59 °F). Because of its depth, sudden thermoclines and generally cold conditions outside the warmest spells, the reservoir rarely feels as warm as small lakes or sheltered bathing spots.
Swimming at Draycote Water is officially not permitted. Restrictions are in place for safety reasons — cold-water shock, underwater hazards and boat traffic — and to protect the reservoir as a managed water supply and wildlife habitat. The site is nevertheless popular for other watersports, with sailing, windsurfing and angling well established, alongside extensive walking and cycling trails and birdwatching. Nearby towns such as Rugby and Royal Leamington Spa, and heritage sites like Kenilworth Castle, offer additional attractions within easy driving distance.
