Re: What is the temperature of your pool now?
Be a long wait for 32, if it get's there! I honestly thought it wasn't too bad on Sunday. Ok not a 'nice' temp, but an ok temp, bearable. Once it's above 26 or so it'll be better, 30+ and a bath ...

Re: What is the temperature of your pool now?
Went to Surfers today and swam in the sea. It was 23.1 according to my watch thermo, and not too bad once you're in.
Got home and the pool is now 23, so warmed up 1 degree today.
So I reckon I may be ok if it's a really hot cooking day, although a bit warmer would be good, like 28 - 30.

24 degrees by 3pm today. The solar panel is heating it by 1 degree per day so far.
Should able to swim by the weekend.

Re: What is the temperature of your pool now?
Naah, once you're in, it'll just get warmer / better. You'll of not acclimatised either so you really should be in already ...
The first place with a pool we rented (moved in the house in July, water temp 16C ... ) we'd been in Oz about 4 months. By the time we got to pretty much this time of year I remember it being nice. We moved out of the place in January and I remember it feeling like a bath and we was swimming in it gone midnight ...
In this house we've seen higher water temps than then, yet at night it just don't feel as warm as it did then. Acclimatised you see!
Enjoy it while you haven't ...

Re: What is the temperature of your pool now?
What with all the crap weather recently I haven't checked, but after work at 5.30 on my inaccurate thermo, the top 6" of my pool water was (and water felt quite nice to the touch too) -
Reckon it woulda been 26 early arvo so don't see it dropping below 24 from now on.
Def in at the weekend again!

Hmm, top 6 inches is one thing, it's the bottom two metres that I'm more concerned about!
