Where these figures come from
The water temperature at Céligny comes from the Alplakes model by Eawag, which computes Lake Geneva in three dimensions: we read the value 70 cm below the surface, in front of the beach, every three hours. Wind and air come from Open-Meteo. Bathing water quality is only shown when a test less than 30 days old exists (Canton of Geneva for Geneva beaches); otherwise check it at the source with the canton or CIPEL, links at the bottom of the page. The verdict is computed by the My Lake app from this data. For guidance only: the lake always has the last word.
