On Monday, May 14 between 2-3 pm, a few students went to Broad Brook and took some water temperature readings. It was a sunny afternoon with a light breeze. We took readings from Parade Street to just below Burton Avenue . The temperatures varied from 19.4 C to 22.5 C. The one startling exception was the reading we took where the drainage pipe came out (UTM 32837 - 58252); it was 9.2 C. Why was it so low there?
Here are the UTM locations and water temperature readings.
- 32804 - 57747: 19.4 C (Parade St. south side)
- 32809 - 57774: 22.1 C (Parade St. north side)
- 32800 - 57989: 22.5 C
- 32758 - 58234: 22.1 C
- 32837 - 58218: 20.1 C
- 32910 - 58231: 20.9 C
- 32837 - 58252: 9.2 C (drainage pipe)
Along the way we were greeted by a trio of ducks just on the north side of Parade Street. We saw another lone duck on the Burton Avenue side.
