Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast

⚠️ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 60°F (15°C) to 65°F (18°C). The water is comfortable for most people, making it an ideal range for water sports enthusiasts. The temperature does not cause significant discomfort, and swimming will be pleasant for the majority. However, it's important to remember that prolonged exposure to the water can still lead to cooling, so it's essential to monitor the time spent in the water, especially for children or elderly people. 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

#Northumberland

Hallington Reservoirs in Northumberland sit in a cool, temperate landscape and the water temperatures reflect that. Typical surface temperatures range from about 1–6 °C (34–43 °F) in winter, rising to roughly 8–14 °C (46–57 °F) in spring and autumn, and peaking in warm summer spells around 14–20 °C (57–68 °F). These figures can vary with weather, depth and currents; deeper or shaded areas remain noticeably colder than the surface even in summer.

Swimming at Hallington is generally not permitted or is strongly discouraged because the reservoirs form part of the region’s water supply and are managed by a water company; restricted access, steep banks, underwater hazards, cold shock risk and water-quality protections all make informal bathing unsafe and often unlawful. Visitors instead use the site for walking, birdwatching and fishing where allowed. Nearby attractions in Northumberland include dramatic coastline and beaches, historic castles such as Warkworth and Alnwick, and extensive walking routes through the county’s countryside.
