Southern Australia Rainfall To Ease Dryness; More Needed

Kansas City, June 4 (World Weather Inc.) – Much-needed rain was noted in portions Australia during the past week. While the rain was welcome, there is still a pressing need for much more precipitation in the main winter grain and oilseed production areas. Drier-than-normal weather was noted in a large section of crop country during the past month and many areas are still facing significant moisture deficits. Precipitation will vary through the middle of next week with timely rain slated for Victoria, South Australia, and southern sections of New South Wales and Western Australia. Queensland and northern New South Wales will otherwise receive little to no rain and will dry down. The precipitation will improve short-term development conditions, though additional rain will still be needed later this month for ideal crop prospects.

India Will Trend Drier Than Usual After Early Rainfall

Kansas City, June 4 (World Weather Inc.) – Unusually wet weather in May helped induce good early-season planting conditions in India. Precipitation in recent days was highly variable across the sub-continent with a weak tropical disturbance promoting abundant rain in portions of the Eastern States and Bangladesh. Severe flooding was noted and may have damaged rice and other winter and early-season summer crops. Rainfall elsewhere was spotty, but it was still welcome. India will generally trend drier than usual through the middle of next week in part due to the potential development of the Madden-Julian Oscillation over the western Pacific Ocean. The environment will be beneficial for aggressive planting and fieldwork; although, the need for timely monsoonal rain will increase later this month to support better germination and establishment in the driest locations.
