Northwest Africa Rain Will Again Favor Morocco

Kansas City, March 5 (World Weather Inc.) – Morocco and portions of Algeria again saw a mix of erratic rain and sunshine during the past week while Tunisia was mostly dry. The main winter grain and oilseed areas either received enough rain or had enough moisture to maintain favorable development conditions. Yields are still expected to be much higher in Morocco that previous years due to the frequent precipitation over the winter. Northwestern Africa will again see a mix of erratic rain and sunshine during the coming week as two disturbances pass nearby. Rainfall will be greatest from Morocco into northwestern and north-central Algeria while northern Tunisia and northeastern Algeria only receive light amounts of rain. Crop conditions will remain mostly favorable, though northern Tunisia and northeastern Algeria would benefit from a good shot of rain later this month.

South Africa Rain Will Maintain Favorable Late-Season Growth

Kansas City, March 5 (World Weather Inc.) – The main coarse grain, oilseed, and cotton areas in South Africa saw a good mix of rain and sunshine during the past week. Additional rain will occur today and Friday before a period of drier weather evolves this weekend into the middle of next week. The environment will remain favorable for aggressive late-season development despite the lack of significant follow-up rain after Friday. Maturation conditions will also start to improve for the earliest-planted crops once drier weather sets in. Yield potentials will remain above normal despite the period of drier weather in the western production areas earlier in the growing season.
