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 if the water reading is more than 7 days 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.
No AHS blue-green algae advisory for this lake was listed when we checked on 2026-10-14. That does not mean the water is safe.
