Yuma, Arizona: Growing Conditions March 9th

---

Heavy rains moved into the Yuma region this morning (March 9th)with a steady rain expected to continue throughout. 

• Following the rain, temperatures are forecast to climb quickly by mid-week into the upper 90s, with triple-digit heat expected throughout next week.
• These weather swings will likely increase mildew and insect pressure across the Yuma Valley, and with most fields already running ahead of schedule, we anticipate additional supply gaps before the transition north to Salinas begins.
