The ideal conditions for a concrete pour can vary depending on the specific project and local environmental factors, but generally speaking, the following conditions are considered ideal:
1. Temperature: The air temperature should be between 50°F (10°C) and 90°F (32°C) during the pour and for at least the next 72 hours. Extreme heat or cold can cause issues with the concrete's strength development and curing. 2. Humidity: The relative humidity should be between 40% and 70% to prevent the concrete from drying out too quickly. 3. Wind: Wind speeds should be below 10 mph (16 kph) to prevent the concrete from drying out too quickly and to avoid dust or debris from getting into the mix. 4. Sunlight: Direct sunlight should be avoided during the pour and curing process as it can cause the surface
