Too Much Liquid Sunshine!

Here on the left coast we are in a similar situation. Not much rain but too many clouds and temperatures below 75. Our water was up to temp in late May but hasn't been all June. At least the water has looked good

The rainy season continues...the ONLY positive is I don't have to refill my pool periodically--it's ALWAYS full!

Had to chime in...

Here it is, first day of summer and we've had 1 (one) swim day this year and at that time the water temp was a scorching 69*. I installed solar panels this year and haven't had a chance yet to see how they work. I'm fairly certain that we've had about a dozen or so days of sun since May 1. And maybe 5 of those was full day sun.

It's never ending... now they're forecasting a Nor'easter for the next few days. Highs near 60.

Unbelievable!

WE ARE FINALLY SWIMMING AGAIN!

Last week the water FINALLY reached just about 80 AND it wasn't raining so we could swim for the first time since mid-May. And again yesterday--and hopefully today!

The water was actually 81 deg this morning and it's (mostly) sunny. I may even do a few laps!

We're swimming, too! The water temp has been between 85-89 degrees and wonderful sunny days. Gotta love that!! My oldest son is having friends over this afternoon for a BBQ and pool party.

geez, we'd LOVE some rain!! Air temps in the low 100s now for two weeks, in the mid80's at night, and it hasn't rained in at least 3 weeks, with none predicted for at least another week!! Water temp in the pool is 97 degrees in the late mornings, and we're running the slide anytime the kids are in it to keep it from feeling like a hot tub. I've had a pool full of kids ALL week, am looking forward to some of them going home this evening when my parents come over for a late Mother's/Father's Day barbecue!!

Doin' the rain dance........

Wow! Water was 86 today and it didn't even sprinkle. We've had rain, rain, and more rain for months--it has been the worst Spring I remember in a long time--since the equally weird "Big Eddy" of ...2002(?).

Be careful what you wish for Jan! BTW, if you have solar panels you should run them all night to cool the pool--from dusk until the sun hits them. They work just as well in reverse, you know.
