| episode_narrative | April and the first half of May 2003 in the Central and Southern San Joaquin Valley was marked by unusual and persistent cool, wet weather. Normally summer agricultural operations are in full swing by the 1st week in April. Despite a relatively dry November through March period for the area, the month of April was the 7th wettest with 2.84" of rain (2.08" above normal) since records began in Fresno in 1888 and the wettest since 1978 when 2.85" fell. The average temperature of 58.6F in Fresno for April was the coldest since 57.2F in 1976. Other sites in the San Joaquin Valley were similarly affected leading to the crop damage assessments. Cherries were the hardest hit in Fresno County; cotton planting was hurt the most in Madera County; and, alfalfa the worst in Kings County. |
