Mexico Monsoon Season Approaches; Relief To Dryness Coming

Kansas City, May 19 (World Weather Inc.) – Drought remains quite serious in the northwest half of Mexico and it has expanded to the southeast in recent weeks. The nation is set to see significant pre-monsoonal rain this week. The early rainfall will help bolster soil moisture in several areas of southern, central, and northeastern Mexico. Early-season planting prospects will improve for the summer grains, oilseeds, cotton, and other crops produced this time of year, though additional rain will likely be needed to support ideal long-term crop conditions. Other areas in northern Mexico into west-central Mexico will miss out on the rain this week and drought will prevail. These areas will likely not receive significant rain until later this summer once the monsoon season is well underway. Abundant rainfall will be needed to completely fix the drought.

Frost, Freezes In North-Central U.S., Canada Have Low Impact

Kansas City, May 18 (World Weather Inc.) – Frost and light freezes in the north-central United States and in Canada’s eastern Prairies had a very low impact on crops during the weekend. Some vegetative damage resulted, but permanent production impacts should have been rare if they occurred at all.

U.S. Midwest Soil To Trend Wetter; Possibly Too Wet South

Kansas City, May 16 (World Weather Inc.) – An impressive rain event brought drought and dryness relief to the western Dakotas, southeastern Saskatchewan and southwestern Manitoba the past two days. An active weather pattern in the United States during the next seven days will bring on wetter field conditions to many areas from South Dakota to the northern Delta and lower Midwest. The moisture boost will be welcome in Iowa, Nebraska, northern Missouri and areas east into central Illinois and northern Indiana; however, the return of rain to the lower Midwest and northern Delta will not be welcome since planting in those areas has been a constant struggle since flooding occurred in late March and early April. Improved crop development potential and better future planting conditions are likely in areas relieved from dryness, but longer field-working delays are likely in the lower Midwest where some areas are still too wet from previous rain.
