As the hometown of melons and fruits, temperature, light and precipitation are all important factors to make melons and fruits sweet. Last winter, meteorological conditions were conducive to the overwintering of fruit trees in southern Xinjiang. After that, most fruit trees bloom earlier. From late March to April, the temperature in most fruit growing areas is high, with little rain and plenty of sunshine. Meteorological conditions are favorable for flowering and pollination of most fruit trees. During the fruit growing period, the light and temperature in most forest fruit planting areas are suitable, and meteorological conditions are conducive to fruit expansion and sugar accumulation. During the mature picking period, there is plenty of sunshine and less precipitation in most areas, which is beneficial to the mature harvesting of forest fruits.
