*** 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
#South Yorkshire
More Hall Reservoir in South Yorkshire is a relatively small upland reservoir whose surface temperatures reflect the cool climate of the region. Typical seasonal ranges are roughly: winter 1–5 °C (34–41 °F), spring 4–10 °C (39–50 °F), summer 12–18 °C (54–64 °F) in warm spells, and autumn 6–12 °C (43–54 °F). Deeper water remains colder year-round and thermoclines can make the reservoir chillier below the surface, so actual conditions vary with weather and recent rainfall.
Open-water swimming at More Hall is generally discouraged and often subject to restrictions by the water company and local authorities. Reasons include cold water shock risk, hidden underwater hazards, variable depths and water-quality considerations in a supply catchment. Many visitors instead enjoy the surrounding landscape: there are walking routes, moorland scenery and other nearby reservoirs and valleys that form part of the western edge of the Peak District, offering attractive opportunities for hiking, birdwatching and photography rather than organised bathing.
