Growing season (April–October; October–April south of the equator): mean temperature against Maule Valley's 1991–2020 normal (hot: 1 °C or more above, warm: 0.5 °C, cool/cold below), growing degree days (warmth for the vines, base 10 °C) and rain against normal, with the harvest month (September/March) flagged when very wet or dry. Monthly data from NASA POWER (MERRA-2) at one point in the appellation (its region's point). The current year is compared with the same months of a normal year (“so far”); its latest months are preliminary and revised by NASA later.
