What the number means
Wharfe: river in the United Kingdom. 2 stations report water temperatures here, from Ilkley at 14.3 °C to Wetherby at 14.7 °C.
The value comes from official bathing-water monitoring: samples every two to four weeks in season, most recently on 24 Sep. Between two samples the water can move by several degrees, up on hot days, down after thunderstorms.
Below 15 degrees the body answers with the cold-shock reflex: an involuntary gasp, racing pulse. Enter slowly, breathe out calmly, never swim alone. The app gives a per-sport verdict and warns when your favourite water drops below your own threshold.
