2025/26 Demeter Almond Season Index Update - Week 25

Regional and state-wide update

The statewide index recovered substantially over the past week as average temperatures increased across the Central Valley and the abnormal rain events that had weighed on bloom conditions and the index receded.

The increase was particularly strong in the San Joaquin Valley, with the northern counties seeing a 29.4% rise in the index and the southern counties 28.9%. The rise in temperatures and reduction in rain events was especially pronounced in the south.
