*** 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
#Greater London
East Warwick Reservoir, on the outskirts of Greater London, typically has cool to chilly water year-round. Seasonal surface temperatures commonly range from about 4–8°C (39–46°F) in winter, warming to roughly 6–14°C (43–57°F) in spring. In summer the reservoir may reach 15–22°C (59–72°F) on milder days, while autumn sees a gradual decline to around 10–15°C (50–59°F). These figures can vary with weather, depth and inflow, and colder thermoclines mean deeper water is often several degrees cooler than the surface.
Public swimming is generally not permitted at East Warwick Reservoir because it forms part of urban water infrastructure and is managed for safety and water quality. Barriers, steep banks, intake structures and potential contamination make unsupervised wild swimming unsafe and usually prohibited by the managing authority. Those seeking open-water swimming in the area are usually advised to use supervised venues or designated spots in the Lee Valley Regional Park. Nearby attractions include riverside walking routes, birdwatching areas and other green spaces in Lee Valley that offer nature observation and recreational paths without the hazards associated with reservoir bathing.
