80 degree weather in April

[EmilyOTR]

So I'm in Michigan and we always always open mid May. that's when it's safe to plant, etc. In April we often get snow flurries, ice storms, but almost never 80s. Three days this week will be around 80, and then the weeknd mid 70s! I'm guessing it's not enough to warm my water, but am I wrong? By Sunday, we will be in the 50s/60s for at least the next 2 weeks.

Air temperature may be in the 80s for a few days but your pool water is not going to warm up much.

thanks, that's what I was assuming, but wasn't sure.

Water temp at 60 or just below is when algae starts to "wake up".

yes that's why I was asking. we normally would not be in danger of this but this weather is very unusual.
