South Africa Winter Crop Prospects Relatively Favorable

Kansas City, September 17 (World Weather Inc.) – Winter wheat, barley, and canola conditions remain favorable for much of South Africa despite the main production areas trending drier than normal during the past month. The combination of irrigation and timely rain has helped induce a well-established crop that is poised to perform quite well this spring as long as timely rain evolves and there are no unusually late frost and freezes. Rain is being advertised for next week and if it verifies most crops will get a welcome boost in topsoil moisture to support reproduction and filling.

Tropical Depression Seven Forms In Atlantic Ocean

Kansas City, September 17 (World Weather Inc.) – A new tropical depression (seven) formed in the central tropical Atlantic Ocean overnight and was expected to become a hurricane eventually. The storm should be named Gabrielle and will move toward Bermuda. The system should turn off to the east northeast next week posing no threat to the United States or Canada.

Tropical Depression Twenty-Three To Clip Luzon, Philippines

Kansas City, September 16 (World Weather Inc.) – Tropical Depression Twenty-Three was noted off the coast of Luzon Island, Philippines this morning. The disturbance will clip the northeast corner of the island later today and Wednesday, which will promote significant rainfall for several locations. Localized flooding will be the greatest concern and may damage a minor amount of rice, corn, sugarcane and other crops produced in the region. Tropical Depression Twenty-Three will then enter the South China Sea later this week. The disturbance could track close enough to southern China to promote localized flooding.
