Hi,
Goldfish can take 85 degrees without problem as long as the changes are
gradual and there is sufficient oxygen. Get an aerator and another lily.
There are also heat exchangers that can be buried that can modify the temp
somewhat (expensive).
HTH, -_- how
no NEWS is good for a reply

Wow! Thanks for all the great advice.

Today, the water got to 82 degrees, which seems a bit too hot. From
what I've
read, the highest water temp for goldfish is around 76 - 78.
Right now the pond has no shade. There are water plants that provide
some
shade but not much.
