Swim Feel (experimental)
Swim Feel combines the latest measured water temperature (shown above, never changed) with forecast air temperature, wind, cloud and an estimated sun strength. It is an uncalibrated comfort guide, not a safety rating, and it is separate from water-quality advisories. No score is shown without a valid measured water reading less than 48 hours old. Weather: MET Norway Locationforecast, CC BY 4.0. Model lake-swim-feel-0.1.0.
Water quality & advisories
A temperature is not a safety rating. Check current swimming advisories before you go. Cold water can cause cold-water shock.
