Computed here from the last 5 years of USGS daily values at this gauge — 1,814 temperature days over 5.0 years and 1,825 flow days. These are not USGS-published normals, and a month with fewer than 20 days of record is left blank rather than averaged.
What this gauge predicts
This is one of the gauges this site fits an air-to-water model against, which is how the map colours water that has no gauge on it. July mean 72.83 °F; the fit explains 85% of the variance with a typical error of 1.857 °F.
