Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast

❌ As of today, the minimum water temperature ranges from 50°F (10°C) to 54°F (12°C). The water is slightly warmer, but still cool for most people. Swimming in such conditions is possible, but for most people, the time spent in the water should be limited to avoid hypothermia. Even experienced swimmers may feel discomfort if they stay in the water for too long. To improve comfort and safety, a wetsuit can be used. 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.

Even in summer the water is often on the chilly side compared with coastal bathing spots.

Swimming at Turton and Entwistle is generally discouraged and, in many cases, not permitted by the reservoir owner because of safety risks and water quality concerns. Cold water shock, sudden changes in depth and underwater hazards make unsupervised bathing hazardous, and byelaws or water company rules may prohibit it. The area is nevertheless popular for walking and birdwatching, with nearby attractions including Rivington Pike and the Rivington Terraced Gardens, pleasant village amenities in Edgworth and a network of countryside trails for walkers and cyclists.
