Weather at the moment

We have a min/max thermometer and it has been a consistent min 12 max 26 Deg C for a few weeks now, the days a semi cloudy. We are flying some Potassium Nitrate on the Sorghum tomorrow morning, I had a visit last week from an Indian fellow who showed me the potassium deficiency starting to show in the leaves.
If Potassium is short then the plant sends it from its reserves lower in the plant and can cause lodging and in severe cases that I have seen in Botswana can look like it has been sprayed with Roundup.
The Sorghum and barley is moving quickly in head at present.
