Mobile Pool Season: the Year on One Bar
Last updated: July 15, 2026 · dates · water temp
One bar, one year, one Mobile pool. The season bar below draws everything the model knows — opening window, prime season, closing window — against today's date, with the working details one click away on the opening and closing pages.
Reading it takes ten seconds: 52 dots, one per week. Solid teal is Mobile's swim season; the hollow teal run before it (February 20 to March 13) is when to open; the hollow amber run after is when to close, with November 23 as the deadline; gray is the covered season. Today's marker shows where you stand in that cycle right now.
The Mobile pool calendar
Opening — target February 27
Open by February 27 — a two-week head start on the March 13 crossing keeps startup chemistry small and beats the local service rush.
Closing — deadline November 23
Hold the cover until November 13, then winterize by November 23, a week ahead of the December 6 freeze normal. Late and cold beats early and warm.
Estimated water temperature by month
This is Mobile's typical-year water curve: the same EWMA model as the live widget, run on the 1991–2020 normals instead of this week's weather.
| Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | May | Jun | Jul | Aug | Sep | Oct | Nov | Dec |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 53° | 54° | 59° | 65° | 72° | 79° | 83° | 84° | 82° | 76° | 65° | 57° |
Warmest water typically June–September (peaking near 84°F); heaters and covers shift any month up.
