2013: Week 41 at the Source (Week 43 in the market)

Rain: We could not ask for better weather during Week 41 – mostly hot and sunny days with very low precipitation. The rainfall recorded was almost nil (1.8 mm).

Temperature: It warmed up during the week as the minimum temperature reached 23.3°C (74°F), the average temperature topped at 27.6°C (81.7°F) and the soil temperature evened out at 27.2°C (81°F). Relative humidity was identical to last week at 84.6%, while solar radiation was intense at the beginning of the week but decreased from the middle towards the end of the week.

Observations: True to form, October continues with perfect weather for the cultivation of pineapples. We do not expect any production or quality challenges in the short term, as conditions should remain stable through and after the Limon Carnivals that will take place this weekend.
