Most of Southern U.S. To See Another Ten Days Of Heat

Kansas City, August 21 (World Weather, Inc.) – Hot and often dry weather in recent weeks across the southern U.S. has caused serious crop and livestock stress resulting in lower animal weight gains and notable potential yield losses for all crops, but especially unirrigated crops. The heat has rushed some plants to earlier-than-usual maturity resulting in early harvesting. Punishing heat will continue for at least another week to ten days from the southwestern U.S. desert region through the southern Plains. Meanwhile, the Delta and the Southeast U.S. will see some moderation in temperatures while remaining warmer than normal.

China Crop Prospects To Remain Relatively Favorable

Kansas City, August 21 (World Weather Inc.) – Tropical Depression Eighteen recently evolved over the Beibu Gulf. The disturbance will promote periods of significant rain in portions of Guangxi and Yunnan, China during the next few days. Localized flooding will be possible, though overall production impacts will be minimal. China’s main production areas will otherwise see a good mix of rain and sunshine through the end of next week. Additional rain will help support relatively good conditions for late-season development. Many areas in the North China Plain and central Yellow River Basin will trend a little drier than usual, which will be welcome for the early-planted crops that will be maturing and getting ready for harvest.

West U.S. Corn Belt To Have Dry-Biased Finish To Summer

Kansas City, August 21 (World Weather Inc.) – Summertime weather in the Northern Hemisphere has been quite stagnant this year, partially due to El Nino. The change of seasons coming up in the next few weeks will offer the first opportunity for “some” change in weather. For Europe that change should be a return of more frequent rain ending an incredibly long period of drought and excessive heat for France, the United Kingdom, Belgium, western and southern Germany and neighboring areas. In North America, the change in seasons will “attempt” to bring rain to the southern Plains and drier weather to the western and some central U.S. Corn and Soybean Belt locations, but an underlying repeating cycle pattern may limit the changes in the United States.
