Eastern China Flood Threat Increases Due To Frequent Rain

Kansas City, April 10 (World Weather Inc.) – Recent rainfall in winter rapeseed and wheat areas of China helped maintain a good environment for new growth. The more advanced rapeseed that is ready to harvest or already being harvested may have seen sluggish conditions during the past week as several locations in the Yangtze River Basin received significant rain. Early-season spring and summer crop planting conditions in the southernmost provinces are variable with many areas in Guangxi, southwestern Guangdong, and Yunnan in a drought. Waves of rain are slated for the Yangtze River Basin and portions of southern China through the end of next week. Flood potentials will gradually increase, most notably for northern sections of Jiangxi and Hunan into immediate neighboring areas. Flooding may damage a minor amount of rapeseed and could delay harvesting. No major crop losses are expected.
