The graph above depicts the temperature of a monitored stormwater pond within TRCA's watershed between Southern Ontario's two hottest months (July and August). Depths are in meters below the normal water level. Note strong diurnal fluctuations at the 0 m , 0.5 m and to a lesser extent at the 1.0 m depths.
