Canadian Prairies Rain Not Enough To Fix Drought This Month

Kansas City, July 25 (World Weather Inc.) – After drying down gradually this past spring and earlier this summer, a large section of the Canadian Prairies was struggling with drought or abnormally dry conditions at the end of June. The weather pattern has become more active in July and offered some relief to the dryness for parts of southern Alberta and western and southern Saskatchewan. The rain was welcome and may have slightly improved production potentials for areas that received the greatest amount of rain. Other production areas continued to dry down as drier than normal weather prevailed. Concern is increasing for significant production losses in parts of Manitoba, northern sections of Alberta and Saskatchewan, and northeastern British Columbia due to the ongoing dryness. The weather pattern in coming weeks does not offer much in the way of heavy rain and additional drying is expected. The environment will remain less than favorable to poor for new growth in areas already suffering from drought.
