Right now as we speak, 82f 27.7c That is with two waterfalls 24/7 3 small waterfalls, 24/7 and the stream running off and on with a 4 foot waterfall.

If I recall right the warmest I saw it at was 88, last year, but could be wrong. This is going to be a dry, rain wise, but humid miserable hot summer unless something changes.

Days of full blasting sun recently. Zero shade on the pond except the lily pads.

I leave mine netted year round, the herons fly over our house and yard every day. We are lucky to be in their flight path

Addy, a few posts up the picture with of you lilies. How many separate lilies do you have in that area ? My pond gets full sun most of the day and I don't think I have enough lilies in there (only 2). The picture is from last year, The group of pads to the left is a plant I have had for 2 years and the one to the left red leaves is new last year. I am looking to fill in the area in yellow as much as I can. I know nothing about lilies will they continue to grow more leaves each year or should I go out an get another plant or 2?
