While most of the East coast is bracing for the cooler months ahead with getting the sweaters and snow boots ready for action, here in the Clearwater and Tampa Bay area we are blessed with warm temperatures throughout fall. This means that outdoor living and recreational activities can be enjoyed almost year round, including dips in the pool. Even though we are fortunate enough to have mild temperatures moving into autumn daylight will still begin to dwindle as night arrives earlier.
As the seasons change so does the amount of day vs night. Though it may seem simple, in theory the entire concept of night arriving earlier as we move into the fall and winter months is quite scientific. Although the earth might look flat, if you look at it from outer space, it’s a big sphere. But it’s not straight. It’s actually a bit crooked, and the amount of tilt is actually about 23.5 degrees. This means that part of the earth is tilted towards the sun, and part of the earth is tilted away from the sun. On one part of the orbit, the top of the earth is tilted towards the sun, which is our summer. This is when days are the longest. Further round in its orbit, the earth will be pointed away from the sun. This is our winter, and the days are a lot shorter. Therefore, the length of the day boils down to how angled our planet is in space.
With these seasonal scientific changes in mind, combined with our region remaining warm enough to enjoy backyard water recreation, what is a homeowner to do when their pool area is dark, dangerous and uninviting to the would-be Leisel Jones’ or Micheal Phelps’ in your home?
