South Africa Drying Resumes After Recent Rain

Kansas City, June 12 (World Weather Inc.) – A disturbance promoted varying amounts of rain across South Africa during the past week. The greatest moisture totals fell in Eastern Cape, outside the main production areas, and in several locations in Natal, Free State, and Northern Cape. The moisture disrupted harvesting of summer crops while it was welcome for improving winter crop establishment. Drier weather will return to South Africa during the coming week resulting in better harvest conditions in summer crop areas while supporting late planting and emergence of winter wheat, barley and canola.

China Drought To Be Eased Next Week

Kansas City, June 12 (World Weather Inc.) – Several of China’s main production areas will experience adverse weather conditions in the coming week. Dryness will prevail for the North China Plain and central Yellow River Basin despite opportunities for spotty rain. Resulting rainfall will be too light to impact long-term soil conditions and the ground will remain too dry for aggressive growth. Concern over future crop production will increase without a break in the pattern. However, a number of medium range computer forecast models have suggested wetter weather June 20-26 and World Weather, Inc.’s Trend Model has suggested greater rain will evolve in these areas during the summer all of which are hinting at better crop development soon. In the meantime, Tropical Storm Wutip will bring heavy rain to portions of southern China over the weekend resulting in flooding that may damage some rice, corn, and sugarcane. Weather conditions in the Yangtze River Basin and northeastern provinces will continue to be well mixed.
