Water temp readings

steadyon · 07-12-2007, 01:58 PM

so, because the states reading is 2degrees higher, tourists will be coming
in droves and the Democrats get the points.
this is almost as silly as the Rusty McMeredith thread

So, why waste your time reading it and responding?

Just installed a second probe at 12 feet deep. The "surface" probe remains at 3 feet. Right now it's showing 80 degrees at 3 feet and 75 degrees at 12 feet. They update every 15 minutes at www.blackcatnh.com.

My water temps are very close to yours. I measure at 3 feet. My lake temp is online, it updates when you refresh the page.

The way you display the data makes me believe you are also using the Sensatronics E4

My water temp sensor is at the surface on my boat.I was on the lake 5 days last week and consistantly saw 80-82 degrees.At one spot in the broads of all places,I had 86 degrees!Wow,the water is wonderfull!!!

Been on the Merrimack lately? Last Thursday in Bow the water temp downstream of the powerplant was around 90. Talk about unrefreshing!

Actually yes I have.I live in Bedford and was on the river last week.Although I launched at Lambert Park and was below the Hooksett dam.I didn't look at my temp gauge though.

From last weeks surface reading on my boat of 82-84,this weekend I had 76 on Saturday and 77 yesterday in the Broads off Welch Island.

CanisLupusArctos · 08-13-2007, 08:38 PM

A little wind on the surface seems to have blown warm water elsewhere... meanwhile the humidity dropped off a ledge this afternoon. From a dewpoint of 65 this AM (very muggy) to 48 at sunset (Fall-like dryness.) When the air is very dry the lake water cools off quick. Today I had 76 water temp on Black Cat.

Channel 6 in Portland just mentioned "Fall-like" temps for this upcoming weekend so I'd say enjoy those water temps while they're still in the upper 70s.

Weirs guy · 08-14-2007, 11:22 AM

I drove by Winnisquam this a.m. on the way to work and saw the dreaded "heat loss fog" rising off the water.

Merrymeeting · 08-15-2007, 11:53 AM

... the downward slide begins...

CanisLupusArctos · 08-16-2007, 07:59 AM

Heat loss fog, already? I haven't seen that yet but it does make for some *great* sunrise pictures.

The last few days the surface temp has been running cooler than the 12-foot temp. Just another sign of autumn. The hornbeam trees also have their first red leaves - they always start turning a few weeks before all the others but they still peak about the same time as the others.

Ch. 6 Weather (Kevin Mannix) said mountain valleys would probably get down into the 30s on Saturday night.

Grant · 08-16-2007, 08:36 AM

Personally, I think 70 is the ideal lake temp. Just right. And once you get into 80 and above, the algae blooms go into overdrive.

Bad news update, saw it again on the big lake on Meredith bay yesterday morning about 5:30.

CanisLupusArctos · 08-18-2007, 07:56 AM

It felt like November suddenly roared in about midnight last night. Calm quiet summer night became hefty gusts out of the northwest in a matter of minutes and the wind is still increasing. Dewpoint now in the 40s, temp in the 50s, wind still increasing and tossing up the whitecaps.

Not surprisingly the water temp is now steadily dropping from 72. Based on weather forecast I think it'll get down to around 67 before this first-of-the-season cold wave is done with us.

Merrymeeting · 08-07-2007, 02:48 PM

Has anyone figured out what the highest recorded temperature is of those that have been captured in the readings on the site?

I haven't had time to look yet...

Merrymeeting · 08-07-2007, 02:54 PM

Answering my own question,

Assuming it had to happen in July, Aug, or Sept (I didn't look at other months), 79 is the highest recorded temp.

Aug 9-10, 2001, July 19, 2006, and several times in July 2005

New record this week?

CanisLupusArctos · 08-09-2007, 03:24 PM

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.

Merrymeeting · 08-09-2007, 04:06 PM

I was referring to the records on this website. They only go back as far as 2000.

I too recorded 83 last week on Merrymeeting (which seems to track Winni fairly well). This is with a probe about 3' deep below my dock, about 20' from shore with water depth about 6'.
