Favorable weather conditions prevailed through the past week, with mostly bright and sunny days with a few intermittent drizzles. 10.4 mm (<0.5 inches) of precipitation recorded, with average minimum as well as average daily temperatures increasing. We are still facing some slow fruit development and we react with increased harvest age. While some quality attributes suffered a setback, we are on the road to recovery given climatic conditions.

Considerable volume available during May and June!

Climatic conditions continue to improve. Week 8 had 41.1 mm (1.6 inches) of precipitation, and the forecast is for gradual improvement to continue. We did have a few nights with minimum temperatures at or below 20 degrees C (68 degrees F). These minimum temperatures under certain conditions may stress plants into flowering prematurely and naturally.On the bright side, sunny and drier days enabled all good husbandry practices to be up-to-date.
