North Texas Heat

[Big Lou]

The intense heat coupled with occasional super hot winds are having a definite impact on our pond's water level. Since we do not have decorative fish I allow the water level to drop 6" or more before a top off. I sure hope you other folks are not going through the same or worst.

Not too bad, water wise. But I personally was soaked to the bone earlier today when I went outside to get the mail and "check on things." The humidity here is aweful!

Nothing like that good ol' southern humdity.

 

[ROW FISH]

I'm in Houston and my pond drops a good .5" a day. No decent rain (0.5"+) in well over a month with none in the forecast for the rest of the week. Have to top it off every other day.

Keeping fish happy though. Even saw a pair spawning the other day. With this heat I'm sure the eggs and fry will be eaten very quickly.

Same here, hot dry winds. Top off on the weekend about 4" last Sat.

I am topping mine off once a week. We haven't had a good rain in quite some time. I think the brown crunchy stuff in the yard used to be grass.

As you know I'm in your neck of the woods. I see an inch gone a day without the auto refill

In two days though we will be out of the triple digits

It's been wicked dry and hot here. A month ago, I bought a pump to transfer water from my lower pond, into the upper one.
