*** 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 Wümme River, flowing through Lower Saxony and Bremen in northern Germany, offers a serene natural environment with varying water temperatures throughout the year. During winter, the river’s temperature typically ranges between 2°C and 6°C, while in summer, it can warm up to around 16°C to 22°C, depending on weather conditions. These moderate temperature variations reflect the temperate maritime climate of the region.
Swimming in the Wümme is possible in designated areas, but it is not uniformly encouraged due to concerns about currents and water quality in certain sections. Popular locations like the Fischerhude area or meadows near Rotenburg provide safer and more scenic spots for enjoying the river. However, the Wümme’s ecological importance as a habitat for wildlife means swimming opportunities may be limited in some protected sections. Swimmers should always follow local guidelines and check water quality reports before diving in.
