Heat hammer in Vogtland: Where the water remains icy and pools are closed!
The sun is shining over Dresden's outdoor pools - not just for holidaymakers, but also for those staying in the city. On July 3, 2025, during the holiday season, the swimming spots will be in high demand and the queues at the entrances could not be longer. But swimming pleasure is not equally popular everywhere.
The “Freie Presse” reports that numerous bathers in Plauen are dissatisfied with the inadequate opening times of the municipal outdoor pools. Especially on such hot days, the short opening hours are a thorn in the side of those who want to soak up plenty of sun and water. A look at the water temperatures shows that many outdoor pools have to fight for the much sought-after sunbathers.
Bathing pleasure at a glance
The platform watertemperature.site provides comprehensive information on water temperatures not only in the region but worldwide. With over 12,000 coastal towns and seaside resorts and more than 1,500 measuring points for inland waters in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Luxembourg, it is a valuable resource for swimming enthusiasts. Regardless of whether guests are currently looking for the next swimming paradise or prefer to stay nearby - the water temperature has a major influence on bathing pleasure.
As the data shows, a water temperature of 22 to 26 °C is pleasantly warm, while temperatures of 16 °C and above are still considered acceptable, but a bit chilly. If you venture into the water below 15 °C, it will quickly become frosty. These different temperature zones can vary greatly due to persistent sunshine, rain or even wind. There are fixed numbers in the water temperature measurements, but local deviations cannot be ruled out.
Where to swim and where not to swim?
The outdoor pools often have their ups and downs on such hot days. Some bathrooms don't manage to keep up, while others are real insider tips. This means that certain bathing areas are always overcrowded and guests are once again more conscious when choosing their bathing spots.
The combination of live data and historical values from watertemperature.site ensures swimmers are always well-informed - assuming they're willing to take a look. Ultimately, this not only increases the anticipation, but also the enjoyment of bathing. After all, a successful day on the water requires more than just the right outfit: the temperature has to be right!
It remains to be seen whether dissatisfaction with opening times in Plauen will subside in the coming days. What is certain, however, is that the need to cool down is on the minds of citizens and a solution will be necessary. Visits to the outdoor pools could turn out well with a little patience but a lot of fun if the temperatures continue to be so high.
