India To Heat Up Stressing Northern, Central Crops

Kansas City, February 27 (World Weather Inc.) – Spotty rain was noted in several locations in India during the past week. Resulting rainfall was welcome where it occurred, though ultimately too light to impact soil moisture. Temperatures were also warmer than usual, but not excessively hot. The environment was not horrific for reproducing and filling winter crops; however, there is a definite need for moisture. Some crops have not had significant rain since mid-January and this week’s rain was just not enough. Irrigated crops were still performing well while dryland crops were struggling with dryness. Weather conditions are unlikely to change much with dry-biased conditions expected in the coming ten days. The biggest change is a trend toward greater warming in northern parts of the nation that will lead to greater crop stress while all winter crops are finishing reproduction and begin filling. The heat and dryness could raise some concern for yield losses.

South Texas, NE Mexico Dryness Exacerbated By Heatwave

Kansas City, February 27 (World Weather Inc.) – Weather in North America has been nothing short of unusual this winter with wild gyrations in temperature and crazy bouts of snow and rain. The coming ten days will be no different. Thursday’s weather was quite impressive for late February with southern Texas and northeastern Mexico temperatures rising through the 90s Fahrenheit and over 100 degrees. The heatwave was quite impressive since this is supposed to be the winter season. The heatwave exacerbated a drought that has been prevailing this winter in southern Texas where spring planting normally begins in March. Soil conditions are not nearly wet enough to support dryland planting no relief is expected. The heatwave will be less impressive over the coming week, but daily highs in the 80s and some 90s will continue.
