*** 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.

The Möhne River, located in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, is a tributary of the Ruhr and is known for its picturesque surroundings and recreational opportunities. The river has relatively cool water temperatures, generally ranging from 10°C to 20°C (50°F to 68°F) depending on the season. During summer, temperatures can occasionally reach the higher end of this range, providing a refreshing experience for visitors looking to cool off.
Swimming in the Möhne River is less common compared to nearby lakes, such as the Möhnesee reservoir, which is a popular destination for water activities. The river's narrower stretches and potential current make it less ideal for casual swimming. However, certain calmer sections may be suitable for wading or a quick dip. Always ensure safety precautions are followed, especially when swimming in natural rivers.
