Drought in Europe Festering; Lasting Relief Unlikely

Kansas City, June 23 (World Weather Inc.) – Drought has already been an ongoing event in portions of Europe this year, but the lack of heat earlier this year helped to minimize the event. Now that summer has arrived and temperatures are much warmer in portions of the continent the drier bias in the soil and water supply shortage is becoming much more notable. The coming ten days will not offer much relief and the situation will be more closely monitored. The environment will quickly become quite harsh for some of the unirrigated crops; including corn, soybeans, sunseed, sugar beets, sorghum and others. Crop moisture stress is already an issue and the latest Vegetative Health Index shows a further decline in crop conditions from that of earlier this month. Soil conditions are more favorable in northeastern and some central European locations, but timely rain will soon be needed for those areas as well as western and southeastern parts of the continent.
