Southeastern Europe Flood Potentials To Increase This Week

Kansas City, November 18 (World Weather Inc.) – A wet weather trend is slated for portions of Europe this week as an upper-level trough of low pressure gradually develops over the continent. Disturbances tracking around the trough will often promote waves of rain from Western Europe into southeastern Europe. Areas near and along the Adriatic Sea will receive some of the most significant rain. Flood potentials will gradually increase and may damage established winter crops and have some impact on infrastructure. France will receive enough rain to bolster soil moisture as well; though, not enough to completely fix the dryness that has impacted parts of the country this year.

Center-West, Northeast Brazil Still In Need Of Rain

Kansas City, November 17 (World Weather Inc.) – Northern Brazil rainfall was erratic, at best, during the past week. Some areas received enough rain to briefly improve topsoil moisture, but very few areas received enough to change subsoil moisture which continues below average. Reports from South America have begun to raise a little concern over the condition of some crops and this is consistent with World Weather, Inc.’s weekly reporting. The latest Vegetative Health Index from a week ago showed this trend of under developed crops, which might not be a problem as long as rainfall improves as advertised. However, the models have been consistently over-advertising rain events especially the ECMWF leading to many frustrations over the lack of generalized rainfall improvements. The coming week is expected to bring some better rainfall; however, how many weeks in a row has the same statement been made? Any rain that falls will be welcome and should improve or maintain establishment. The driest areas in Mato Grosso, Goias, Minas Gerais, Tocantins, Piaui and Maranhao will need additional rain to fully fix the moisture deficits.
