I checked back on m pics as I thought we had a max of 31C last year, but it got to 33C after a few days of +30's and it hit 37C in the garden.

So broke the 37 with 38 today, and that was @ 4pm.

33C water temp to beat! ... and yeah, don't do too well for cooling at the mo, but nice to get some evening use from the pool ...

Was 30.6 yesterday and I had a swim. I put my watch in for half an hour to check the temp.

Weather much cooler today and haven't checked it or gone for a swim. Will get a new thermo at Bunnings Sat.

Yeah haven't been in today, but did run the sieve thing over it to pick out the few leaves that had fallen in, and when I handled the end it was warm.

Stuck me finger in and it was warm!

Couldn't see the thermometer because it's dark out but the water was perfect. 9 o'clock swim before bed is my idea of heaven.

Back after a month in UK. Pool is 32C and a very unattractive browny green colour with a distinctly rotten odour.

I've got a feeling that this year the pool is going to cost me around $500 and 8 hours of labour each time I want to swim in it!!!

Really? We've spent the day divebombing to try and get some out of ours

In between catching beasties and dropping them in a big spiders web and watching them get wrapped up

41 yesterday. #1 daughter didn't bother to take the cover off and add water like I told her so not only was it low but freakin hot too.

Today after the addition of 3" of water and the cover being off it's a very refreshing 32. Lovely when the air is 42 and you've been working in the sun all day.
