Canadian Prairies Agricultural Weather Prognosticator For July 17, 2025

In this edition to the Canadian Prairies Agricultural Weather Prognosticator there is an updated late July weather forecast and a new look at August which is now drier and warmer than previously suggested. This issue also provides an update on rainfall in the first half of July and a new look at the potential for cold weather in early September from the 45-day cycle. A quick look at soil moisture from selected areas around the world is included in this report along with special stories regarding Europe, Australia and the former Soviet Union.

East Australia Winter Crops May Be Stressed, Underdeveloped

Kansas City, July 16 (World Weather Inc.) – Winter crops in Australia are still trying to become better established after delayed autumn rainfall prevented planting in some parts of the nation until June and early July. Some areas that were planted early have not had as much rain as usual and those planted late need greater soil moisture to induce better stands. Unirrigated Queensland and portions of western and northern New South Wales’ crops continue to struggle with severe moisture deficits. These areas are too dry for the best wheat, barley, and canola prospects and the need for rain is high. Drier-biased conditions will prevail for at least another week and the outlook will remain less than ideal. Western Australia, South Australia, and Victoria have had enough moisture recently to induce better establishment and improved long-term production potential; although, parts of Western Australia are a little too dry and would welcome increased rainfall. Southern Australia will see a good mix of rain and sunshine through the middle of next week; though, more rain will be needed.
