Now we have smoky, unhealthy air quality from the fires in Canada.![]()
Hi Ducky!
We finally got a taste of summer yesterday and took my first swim of the season (sunny with air temp in mid 80s, water temp 78). Still chilly, but it felt so good to finally swim!
It has felt like March here in Laughlin for the last several weeks. Crazy cool weather.We call that “March” around here …

Interesting.
It's been different in the Pacific NW the past few weeks. Normal first swimming day is memorial weekend. This year it was 2nd weekend in May. Been swimming almost daily since, except for a few rainy days. So about 2 weeks ahead of the usual here.
Our weather in Wisconsin has been wildly inconsistent but not all bad. First, I was able to take a chilly swim in my 70-degree pool in the middle of April. That's about a month earlier than ever before. It quickly cooled back down, though, and didn't get back above 70 until mid-May. Then, from just before Memorial Day into last week a nice heat wave got my water up to an all-time high of 91 degrees. (which I've never been even remotely close to until July). Alas, since this past weekend, cold again, daytime highs in the 60s and the pool back to the low 70s.Still no break in the cool/cloudy weather, and the forecast for the week isn’t looking promising. Pool is 71. Low pressure systems just sit off the coast and won’t budge. The lack of sunny days is literally depressing.
This is nuts. In the almost 20 years we’ve had this pool this is the first time it’s been too cold to use for the entire month of May. At this rate, we may not be swimming in June as well. It’s not even nice enough weather to at least sit by the pool and enjoy the view (of the cold water!).
Y’all need to share some of that sunshine and heat!
There has been one benefit; FC demand is really low.![]()
A similar story we had a nice period warm weather in NJ in the mid to upper 80's pushing my pool water to 86 degrees. Cooled down then warmed back up the last few days until today we finally go rain after like 2 weeks of dry weather. Off to Hawaii for summer weather for 2 weeks so I'm guessing by the time we come back Jersey will be Jersey and the heat and humidity will have arrived.Our weather in Wisconsin has been wildly inconsistent but not all bad.

I never thought I'd have a warmer pool than in SE Virginia!
