The hot temperatures have certainly not eased up.Sunny days with very hot temperatures. Daily temperatures ranged between 21°C - 41°C. Overnight temperatures ranged between 14°C - 25°C.

Quality is good. Fruit size is medium – medium/large. Ripeness is ½ - ¾ colour.
The hot temperatures have certainly not eased up, but our preparation has equipped the plants and fruit well. There are no signs of stress, but this has also meant that the ripening process has slightly slowed down so harvest volumes have marginally dropped. We expect harvest volumes to increase next week as we hopefully come out of this heatwave.
