*** Forecast - Our water temperature forecast
Actual river water temperatures may vary by several degrees from the reported values, particularly after heavy rainfall or periods of changing weather. Rainfall, river flow rates, and runoff from cooler upstream areas can significantly affect water temperature, especially in flowing sections and shaded stretches. Air temperature and cloud cover also play an important role, with warm, sunny conditions helping rivers warm up more quickly. As a result, noticeable temperature differences can occur along the same river.
Our forecast is based on a proprietary mathematical model that takes into account real-time river temperature changes, historical data, seasonal patterns, river flow conditions, recent rainfall, and local air temperature. We also factor in broader weather conditions specific to each region of Australia to improve accuracy.

Location & Local Information
Jingga Pool is a natural river pool set in bushland, and its water temperature reflects the inland NSW climate and local rainfall rather than any coastal influence. In summer, the pool usually warms to around 20–24°C, which feels pleasantly cool on hot days without being a shock on entry. Spring and autumn tend to sit between 16–20°C, still comfortable for a swim when the weather is fine. During winter, water temperatures often drop to about 12–15°C, making the pool feel quite cold and better suited to brief dips rather than long swims. Shaded banks and steady flow help keep temperatures down even in warmer months.
Swimming Conditions
Swimming at Jingga Pool is generally allowed and is one of the main reasons people visit the area. The pool is naturally formed, with calmer water than the surrounding river, making it suitable for swimming during dry, settled conditions. Water quality is usually good, especially in summer when flows are stable and the pool is clear. After heavy rain, however, the water can become colder, deeper, and faster-moving, so swimming is best avoided then. Overall, Jingga Pool offers a refreshing freshwater swimming experience, ideal in warmer months for those looking to cool off in a quiet, natural setting away from busy beaches.
