Avocados are highly adapted to different rainfall conditions, however, a well distributed annual rainfall of up to 1600 mm is optimal for good production. Climatic conditions with alternating dry and rainy seasons are best for avocados.
Irrigation is essential where rainfall is not adequate.
Too much rain during flowering causes flower abortion resulting in significant reduction in production. Fungal diseases are also problematic in very wet weather.
A short period of dry weather of up to two months usually triggers flowering especially in tropical climates not subject to marked falls in temperature
The avocado tree requires high relative humidity at flowering, about 70-80 %, then moderate levels during the fruit swelling stage. Too much humidity encourages the proliferation of pests and diseases such as scales, scab and anthracnose among others.
