KANGAR: The extremely hot weather is giving some 400 Harumanis mango farmers in Chuping a headache as the scorching heat is threatening the pollinating process of the fruits.

Last Friday, the temperature in Chuping reached about 37°C, making the area the hottest place in the country, and this has also resulted in the flowers dropping prematurely from the trees.
