Mingo Creek, Pennsylvania
10.1 mapped river miles, draining 22 square miles, in the Lower Monongahela basin watershed. No gauge stands in it; the nearest is 11.9 miles away, and what this page knows about its temperature is PA DEP's classification of the water itself.
50°F and colder is cold, through cold-transitional and cool, to warm above 70°F — the same four bands, breaking at 58, 64 and 70°F, that the app paints. Grey is water nobody has measured.

Thermal classification
PA DEP's classification of this water, reach by reach. A class, not a temperature — no July mean, because none was measured here.
