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.

The Berkel River is a small yet scenic river in the eastern Netherlands, flowing through the provinces of Gelderland and Overijssel. It passes through charming villages and natural landscapes, making it an attractive spot for outdoor activities. Swimming in the Berkel River is possible during warmer months, typically from late spring to early autumn, when the water temperature can reach around 18°C to 22°C (64°F to 72°F). However, swimming is generally not encouraged due to fluctuating water quality, especially during times of agricultural runoff and rainfall. The river's relatively shallow depth and occasional fast-moving sections can also pose risks to swimmers.
During the colder months, from November to March, the water temperature of the Berkel River drops significantly, often ranging between 4°C and 8°C (39°F to 46°F), making swimming both dangerous and uncomfortable. Additionally, the Berkel is a natural river with varying flow rates, and certain areas may have stronger currents, particularly after heavy rainfall. It is always important to check local swimming regulations or water quality reports before swimming in the Berkel, as conditions can change rapidly, especially after storms or periods of heavy farming activity.
