It's been I think probably 2 weeks or more since rain, and constant 96f weather. I filled this one container I had in the same spot as the pond and so far in 5 days it's lost about 1.5 inches of water. I've always been able to notice when water drops in the pond by rocks, one part of the pond always loses water much more fast because that's how it's dug out. I think back in April I had similar weather, but it was April, it was 12-13c degrees less, still was dry. I think back then I measured losing 30-40 gallons or something every 2 weeks, but in this weather I imagine its quite more. Haven't been topping up at all, just been waiting for rain to do that.
Not in full sun otherwise this number probably would be a lot more, get some sun in the morning, most dappled though. I have some Sarracenia, I put them on a roof in a bucket filled with pond water, 3 gallons evaporated in 4-5 days which was interesting but that's in 8-9hrs of sun, and that roof probably boils the water. Always paranoid whether I have a leak or not, I doubt it though, it's been 2 months since I added any kind of water and my history with it is if I have a leak it's pretty damn obvious.
