2013: Week 25 at the Source (Week 27 in the market)

Rain: Complete turnaround in our weather with showers of moderate to medium intensity almost every day! We had an accumulated precipitation of 52.6 mm (2 inches).

Temperature: Minimum and average air temperatures remained very similar to the prior week. The average minimum air temperature reached 24°C (75.2°F), while the average air temperature was 27.9°C (82.2°F). The average soil temperature decreased to 27.9°C (82.3°F) probably due to the rain. The sunlight varied from medium to low intensity throughout the week, while relative humidity continued low and identical to last week at 86 %.

Observations: Everyone around the world is talking about the changing weather patterns and it seems that we are no exception. May and June are usually rainy months in the Caribbean coast of Central America, but this year both months have been characterized as rather dry. Usually we get our “Indian Summer” in late June and early July but the weather experienced during Week 25 is the inverse!
