Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast
⚠️ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 54°F (12°C) to 60°F (15°C). The water is significantly warmer, and swimming becomes possible for most people. However, caution may still be required for prolonged stays in the water, as extended exposure can cause discomfort. This is a suitable temperature range for short swims and for those accustomed to cooler water. For more comfortable swimming, it is recommended to use proper gear. 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
#Leicestershire
Eyebrook Reservoir’s water temperatures vary with the seasons. In winter the surface typically sits around 2–6 °C (36–43 °F), rising in spring to about 6–12 °C (43–54 °F). Summer daytime highs can warm the reservoir to roughly 14–22 °C (57–72 °F), while autumn sees temperatures fall back to around 8–14 °C (46–57 °F). These figures are approximate and will depend on recent weather, depth and wind conditions; deeper water stays colder through the year.
Formal swimming facilities are not provided at Eyebrook and open-water swimming is generally discouraged or prohibited for safety, conservation and operational reasons. Steep banks, cold-water shock risk, the presence of fishing activities and the reservoir’s role in local water management mean lifeguards and marked swimming areas are absent. Visitors instead come for angling and birdwatching; nearby attractions include Rutland Water with its extensive trails and visitor centres, as well as local villages and walking routes that offer complementary outdoor activities.
