The need to be able to be ahead of the forecast weather report can be a game changer. Thus, the utilization of a weather station in a farm could have an enormous impact. This study was conducted at Top Fruits Sdn. Bhd. durian farm located in Parit Sulong, Johor, Malaysia. This research spanned partially from January 2023 to December 2023 and involved the utilization of durian trees aged between 5 to 35 years old. The Davis Weather Station has been deployed in the farm to gather continuous weather data. Some notable ndings were found which suggest a direct correlation between an increase in the humidity and a subsequent decrease in the durian harvest yield. The study identied 26.03 °C as the optimum daily average temperature for fruit development, which is the lowest average temperature recorded during the observation period. A high daily average evapotranspiration value, up to 2.68 mm as observed in this publication, favors the durian yield. Pearson's correlation analysis revealed no signicant correlation between rainfall and yield, attributed to the use of sprinkler irrigation when rain was absent. It can be concluded that weather patterns signicantly impact fruit development.
