Brandon Pool Season: the Year on One Bar
Last updated: July 25, 2026 · dates · water temp
Brandon 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.
Brandon, FL — 262 swim days a yearOne color, 52 dots: Brandon's bar has no gray because the model never finds a week that forces a closing. Use the monthly water estimates below instead — the swing from 62°F to 84°F is what actually shapes swimming and maintenance here, from heater decisions at the cool end to sanitizer demand across the 262 days of genuine summer.

Estimated water temperature by month
This is Brandon'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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 63° | 64° | 67° | 71° | 76° | 81° | 83° | 84° | 83° | 80° | 72° | 67° |
Warmest water typically June–October (peaking near 84°F); heaters and covers shift any month up.
Every station tells its own story: compare this curve with Boynton Beach's pool season and Cape Coral's — neighboring normals stations can shift the windows by a week or more. The full ranking lives on the Florida season index.
