TEXAS - According to recent reports, temperatures ranging from 105–110 degrees will be impacting Texas’ Rio Grande Valley this week. With the region serving as a key agricultural hub along the Mexican border, AndNowUKnow is bringing you an update on what to expect as the week progresses.
Valley Central reported Monday morning that these high temperatures meet or slightly exceed the century mark, and no chances of rain are expected despite isolated showers taking place over the weekend. Amid these high temperatures impacting the region, it is pertinent that fresh produce operators take extra heat precautions for their workers, especially in the afternoons.
Looking at tropical systems, the National Hurricane Center has highlighted areas of interest moving over the Atlantic Ocean, although those systems are not expected to impact the Rio Grande Valley in the coming days.
AndNowUKnow will be checking in with produce growers in the area this week, so stay tuned for any updates.
