Eastern Australia Facing Drier, Warmer Weather

Kansas City, September 9 (World Weather Inc.) – Weather in Australia will finally start to take a turn toward drier and warmer than usual through the middle of next week. This pattern is more typical in an El Nino environment, at least for portions of southern and eastern Australia. Aggressive drying will potentially start to slow development for the winter wheat, barley, and canola produced this time of year. No major production impacts are suspected as of yet. However, the threat for continued drier than usual conditions due to El Nino may start to raise concerns for production cuts later this spring. Planting of the summer grains, oilseeds, and cotton may also be impacted in eastern Australia due to a lack of soil moisture.

Weekly Citrus Weather for Wednesday, September 9, 2026

Kansas City, September 8 (World Weather Inc.) – In Florida, rain and thunderstorms continued on a frequent basis across the main citrus areas during the past week. The environment remained favorable for citrus development. Waves of rain will continue to support good citrus conditions in the coming week. Mexico’s citrus region saw a mix of monsoonal rain and sunshine during the past week. Additional rain in the coming week will maintain a good environment for the citrus outside the driest areas in the northeast. Brazil’s citrus areas will have several opportunities for rain through the middle of next week. The precipitation could stimulate early-season flowering.

U.S. Pacific Northwest Water Reservoirs Low as Drought Persists

Kansas City, September 9 (World Weather Inc.) – Drought conditions and low water reservoir levels continue to impact the U.S. Pacific Northwest crop areas. Severe to exceptional drought persists in Oregon and the Snake River Valley, with eastern Oregon’s water reservoirs largely being under 10% capacity. Drier-biased conditions are expected to persist for the foreseeable future. A minor rain event expected to bring trace amounts to 0.35 inch of rain to parts of Washington and Oregon will occur in the coming days, but these amounts will not be enough to make a significant difference in the drought conditions if the event verifies. Heavier or more consistent rain will be needed across the crop region to improve overall conditions.
