Russia Plenty Wet; Drier Weather Needed For Winter Wheat

Kansas City, June 25 (World Weather Inc.) – Waves of rain gradually improved the moisture profile for a large section of Russia’s production region in recent weeks. The rain improved planting and establishment conditions for summer grain and oilseeds. Late-season development conditions also improved or remained relatively favorable for the winter grains and oilseeds. Additional rain is slated for much of crop country outside the USDA defined ‘Southern Region’ through the middle of next week. Long term spring and summer crop prospects will remain favorable due to the additional rain; however, the need for drier weather will increase early in July for better maturation and early-season harvest conditions of wheat, barley, rye, and rapeseed. Too much rain in the next few weeks could reduce grain quality and delay harvesting.

China’s Drought Relief To Expand Into North Yellow River Basin

Kansas City, June 24 (World Weather Inc.) – Drought in east-central China was a threat to crops during the spring. Rain fell substantially earlier this month in Henan and Shandong resulting in a significant reduction in the area of dryness; however, areas near and north of the Yellow River were still too dry. Rain coming in the next seven to ten days will bring relief to the remaining dry region in China ending most of the concern over drought and improving crop and field conditions. Other production areas will receive enough rain through the middle of next week to maintain a relatively good environment for the crops produced this time of year.

Southern India Drying While Local Flood Potential Rises North

Kansas City, June 25 (World Weather Inc.) – India’s monsoon is intensifying – at least in some parts of the nation. Frequent rain recently in central and eastern crop areas has bolstered topsoil moisture and additional rain in the central, north and east during the next ten days will saturate the ground leading to some local flooding. In contrast, many areas from interior Maharashtra to Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu are not getting much rain and this region will continue to dry out while rain is falling elsewhere. As a result of these changes, some interior west-central and southern India locations will continue to trend too dry for this time of year while the risk of flooding evolves farther to the north.
