Californian growers are gearing up for another early season of their summer crops following record high temperatures in parts of the state. 
California Fresh Fruit Association (CFFA) president Barry Bedwell said the industry may be roughly two to three days ahead of last season, which was early in itself.
The high temperatures began around Friday (March 13) last week, when a high pressure system built up over parts of the state.
“I think that once again we’re experiencing an early season, and this heat certainly confirms and accelerates that,” he told www.freshfruitportal.com.
“Having said that, this weather is highly unusual and once again continues to set records. That 91°F (33°C) I think we had in this area [Fresno] on Sunday was an all-time record for the date by four degrees, and one of the hottest temperatures we have seen in the month of March ever.”
