What the trend means

Is Lake Marion warming or cooling?

Across the available seven-day sensor series, Lake Marion is cooling. The net measured change is -1.8 °F.

Water temperature is highly local. Sun exposure, wind, inflow, depth, current, dam releases and time of day can all produce different readings around the same lake. Treat this as a monitored point, not a claim that every part of the lake is exactly the same temperature.
