Lake Temp

Happy Gourmand · 08-26-2012, 06:14 AM

I was showing 77.7 degrees on the east side of Governor's Island yesterday.

Last Monday we measured a temp profile at a deep site between Governors and Timber. It was a constant 24.8 deg centigrade, about 76.6 F, down to 8.5 meters, about 27.9 feet. The thermocline was at about 30 feet depth.

We are always amazed at how well mixed the water is down to the thermocline depth.

We got a temp reading of 80 on Sat. Did not take a reading today.

All of the wind of the past few days coupled with cool night temps have probably caused the lake temperature to drop.

Does anyone know when, traditionally, the high temp occurs?

Pretty much right now.

Believe the surface temp has reached 80 maybe once in the last twenty years ..... sometime like 1999 .... when the water level was very low in August.
