The leisure activities outdoors in Hamm are strongly influenced by the weather conditions. Despite the changeable summer, both the water ski system in Haaren and the campsite in Uentrop report on different experiences this season. These differences take a while on the preferences of the visitors and the adaptability of leisure facilities.

water ski system in hair struggles with declining number of visitors

The operator of the water ski system in Haaren, Verena Padberg, is dissatisfied with the current utilization. The number of visitors is lower than expected because many water ski and wakeboard drivers remain undecided because they are waiting for stable summer weather. Nevertheless, Padberg emphasizes that the pre -booked groups represent an important source of income. These groups, which appear even in less inviting weather, make the balance sheet more positive than it initially appears.

constant number of guests at the campsite in Uentrop

In contrast, the campsite in Uentrop shows more stable numbers. Agniezka Helbach, the operator, reports on a constant number of guests compared to the previous year. July turned out to be particularly successful, which is probably due to a number of sunny days that attracted short vacationers from the area. These weather conditions played a crucial role by making the camping experience attractive for many.

A look at the importance of the weather for leisure facilities

These developments illustrate how closely the use of leisure activities is linked to the weather. The water ski system shows that guests tend to visit spontaneous visits when the weather is ideal, while the camping guests react more flexibly to the current weather conditions. This shows how important the weather is for the planning and success of outdoor activities.

outlook for the remaining summer season

Although summer has been changeable so far and the leisure facilities experience different challenges, it remains to be seen how the further season will develop. The operators of both institutions have to find innovative ways to react to the weather conditions and offer their guests an attractive offer. It will be exciting to observe how people's residence habits, in terms of weather, further shape leisure behavior.
