Menifee Pool Season: the Year on One Bar
Last updated: July 15, 2026 · dates · water temp
This is the one-page view of Menifee'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.
Reading it takes ten seconds: 52 dots, one per week. Solid teal is Menifee's swim season; the hollow teal run before it (March 13 to April 3) is when to open; the hollow amber run after is when to close, with November 21 as the deadline; gray is the covered season. Today's marker shows where you stand in that cycle right now.
The Menifee pool calendar
Opening — target March 20
Target March 20; the practical window runs March 13–April 3, and the 7-day mean crosses the 61°F threshold around April 3. Cold-water starts are the cheap ones.
Closing — deadline November 21
The window opens November 11 once water leaves the algae zone; the model deadline is November 21, a week ahead of the December 18 freeze normal.
Estimated water temperature by month
This is Menifee'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° | 57° | 61° | 65° | 71° | 78° | 81° | 80° | 73° | 64° | 55° |
Warmest water typically July–September (peaking near 82°F); heaters and covers shift any month up.
