U.S. Southeast Drought Not Wavering

Kansas City, April 7 (World Weather Inc.) – Drought is ongoing in a large section of the U.S. southeastern states and Delta. These areas received some needed rain in the first week of April, though amounts were too light to seriously change the moisture profile in most locations. There is still a pressing need for significant rain to support better early-season planting and establishment of the coarse grains, oilseeds, cotton, and other crops. Both regions will continue to experience an inadequate amount of rain during the coming week to make any changes. The Delta may trend wetter April 14-20, but the southeastern states will remain quite dry except possibly in Virginia and North Carolina where some rain is possible next week. Warm daytime temperatures and a lack of rain will promote aggressive drying across both regions. Early-season germination and emergence conditions will be poor as the drought prevails, and in some cases intensifies.

Weekly Citrus Weather for Tuesday, April 7, 2026

Kansas City, April 7 (World Weather Inc.) – Florida’s citrus region received much-needed rain during the past week with several counties receiving inches of rain. Recent rainfall was likely too light to completely break the drought and there is still a need for additional precipitation; though irrigation and recent rainfall was sufficient to support most crops. A disturbance will continue to promote rain today with some lingering showers later in the week. The moisture profile will continue to improve and promote a better environment for tree and fruit development. Brazil’s citrus areas again saw a good mix of rain and sunshine during the past week. Spotty rain will continue on a frequent basis during the coming week and maintain relatively good development. In Mexico, erratic rain was noted across the main production areas during the past week. Additional rain will improve or maintain relatively favorable flowering and fruit setting.
