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 Yonne River, flowing through the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region, is known for its scenic beauty and recreational opportunities. The water temperature in the Yonne varies seasonally, generally reaching around 6°C (43°F) in the winter and peaking at about 22°C (72°F) during the summer months.
