My pond has risen ~16" since the monsoon arrived in July, which is a really good thing, but the two very heavy downpours that
we've gotten over the past ten days have really messed with the water temps. The last deluge we got blasted my thermocline
to smithereens. Went from a 6°F delta from surface to 10' down to a 1.5° delta.
Yesterday evening the surface temp was 80.6° and we've gotten another 8/10th inch of rain since then.

I have a feeling that the situation may have gotten ugly without the aeration running.
The fish continue to smash pellets with gusto so I guess the water must be ok.
