Water temp readings

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.

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'.
