Burbank Pool Season: the Year on One Bar
Last updated: July 15, 2026 · dates · water temp
This is the one-page view of Burbank's pool year: both model windows, the estimated water-temperature curve, and today's live position on the season bar. The detailed checklists live on the opening and closing guides; this page is the calendar you check between them.
The bar compresses Burbank's whole pool year into one lane rope: gray floats for the off-season, hollow teal for the March 18–April 8 opening window, solid teal for swim weeks, hollow amber for the closing stretch that ends November 23. Wherever the today marker sits, the nearest color change is your next appointment.
The Burbank pool calendar
Opening — target March 25
Open by March 25 — a two-week head start on the April 8 crossing keeps startup chemistry small and beats the local service rush.
Closing — deadline November 23
The window opens November 13 once water leaves the algae zone; the model deadline is November 23, a week ahead of the December 26 freeze normal.
Estimated water temperature by month
This is Burbank'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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 55° | 56° | 58° | 61° | 64° | 67° | 72° | 75° | 75° | 71° | 64° | 57° |
The curve peaks near 76°F — comfortable-water months here usually involve a heater or a solar cover.
