Weather report
A brief weather report: As you most probably have gathered the sun is blazing in the Altiplano surrounding Quito, Ecuador. Today UV strength was reported as being 17, and a warning issued to stay inside if at all possible. Winds are blowing, with very intense gusts and greenhouses all over the Sierra are having some kind of problem, from ripped plastic, or sections of the greenhouse being blown away, to trees falling and windbreaks collapsing.
Even with the sunblock, one can feel the ultra-violet rays on the skin, and although it was somewhat cloudy in the morning the climate has been intensely hot all day long.
Chalk it up to Global Warming, El Nino or the economy...extreme weather changes are affecting every walk of life, and having an impact on rose production.
