Alafaya Pool Season: the Year on One Bar
Last updated: July 25, 2026 · dates · water temp
Alafaya runs a twelve-month pool calendar — the model finds no week cold enough to force a closing. This page tracks the water-temperature curve and the prime-season stretch; the spring refresh and winter care guides cover the routines that replace opening and closing here. Keep it bookmarked as the between-guides dashboard for the year.
Alafaya, FL — 222 swim days a yearEach dot is one week of Alafaya's year, and here they're all solid teal — the model finds no off-season to draw. What varies instead is comfort: the water table below shows the seasonal range from 61°F to 84°F, and the today marker tells you where in that cycle you're standing. Maintenance follows the same curve — heavier through the 222-day prime stretch, lighter but never zero through winter.

This is Alafaya'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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 62° | 63° | 67° | 71° | 76° | 81° | 83° | 84° | 83° | 79° | 72° | 66° |
Warmest water typically June–October (peaking near 84°F); heaters and covers shift any month up.

Alafaya pool season FAQ
Does Alafaya, FL need a seasonal pool opening?
No — the model classifies Alafaya as a year-round climate: the 7-day mean temperature never settles below the 61°F threshold long enough to justify a hard winter shutdown. Keep the pump circulating and the sanitizer in range through the cool months instead. Details are in the Alafaya opening guide.
Should you ever close a pool in Alafaya?
Rarely. With 222 days of 80°F+ highs a year, most Alafaya owners run the pool continuously and simply trim pump hours in the cool season. If you do want a shutdown checklist, the Alafaya closing guide covers the mild-winter variant.

Alafaya averages 222 days a year with normal highs of 80°F or better. The Florida season index ranks all 64 covered cities by the same metric.
