North China Plain To Dry Down As Temperatures Heat Up

Kansas City, May 14 (World Weather Inc.) – Several areas in China’s North China Plain and central Yellow River Basin received rain during the past week easing long term dryness. The area of most serious dryness shrank by about 40% from the previous week; however, the trend will now go the other way with dryness expanding again in this coming week as limited rain and warmer temperatures return. The change may intensify crop moisture stress in unirrigated fields especially for spring and summer crops. Wheat is filling and maturing with harvesting getting under way soon. Wheat production may have been negatively impact by spring dryness this year, but mostly in unirrigated fields. In the meantime, favorable weather is impacting the Northeast Provinces while some heavier rain evolves in the Yangtze River Basin resulting in some potential for flash flooding.
