Potatoes generally grow best in cooler temperatures. They thrive in a climate where daytime temperatures are between 60°F and 70°F (15°C to 21°C). In warmer climates, high temperatures can hinder tuber formation and lead to poor yields.
That said, potatoes can be grown in a variety of conditions, and some varieties are bred to handle warmer climates better than others. If you're in a warmer region, it's often best to plant potatoes early in the spring or in the fall before the heat of summer sets in, or to choose heat-resistant varieties. So, while they can tolerate some warmth, cooler conditions are typically more favorable for optimal growth.
