Western Europe Drought To Be Eased; SE Europe To Stay Dry

Kansas City, July 16 (World Weather Inc.) – Crop moisture stress and downward pressure on this year’s spring and summer crop production potential continued over the past week in unirrigated fields of France, parts of the U.K., western Germany, the Low Countries and the lower Danube River Basin. These areas experienced very little rain and seasonably warm (not hot) temperatures. France, southern England, Belgium, Netherlands and Germany will receive some rain through the middle of next week that will alleviate some of the dryness; however, much more will be needed to restore soil moisture and water supply to normal. Meanwhile, the lower Danube River Basin will remain drier and warmer biased through the middle of next week resulting in additional crop moisture stress. Other areas in Europe will see a good mix of rain and sunshine that will maintain good crop conditions.
