Hey Shorty, down here near the gulf, I dont think there's any such thing as a cold rain after the end of May. You may see an air temp drop of maybe 10 degrees for a short time as the rain moves thru, but then it just gets nasty as soon as the sun pops back out. If you're lucky, you get a couple days of cloudy weather, but its still so muggy you can barely breathe.

I've resolved myself to putting up the bottom aeration until we get daytime temps back in the 80s....maybe October if we're lucky. I may get to up the run time on the fountain back to 12 hours, but even then, I'll have to keep a close eye on the bottom temps.
