79 is the record on which body of water? I seem to remember that in 1988, Winnipesaukee hit a record high of 92 degrees. It was in the news, alongside articles about duck itch and unusual aquatic plants popping up everywhere. That was a really, really hot summer as I recall.
Last year my old probe got to 84 degrees at 3 feet, during the heat wave of early August. This summer (with new probe) 82 has been the highest.
