The Lake This Week

The average surface temperature is slightly down this week from 80 degrees F. last week to 78 degrees F this week due to the cool nights over the weekend and into the start of the week and the haze from the wildfires in Canada partially blocking the sun all week.

Water clarity has decreased as well – with our average secchi reading at 2.9 meters down from 4.3 meters last week. Lake monitoring still shows that it is mainly green algae and diatoms present in the water though -neither of which are associated with HABs. There are some Microsystis cyanobacteria present as well – the HABs causing blue-green algae – but not in great numbers – and we had no bloom reports this week.
