China’s Driest Region May Shrink A Bit; Hotter Next Week

Kansas City, May 7 (World Weather Inc.) – Drought conditions expanded a bit during this past week in China’s east-central crop areas; including parts of the Yellow River Basin and North China Plain. Some of the expansion occurred because of hot temperatures last weekend that sent extreme readings to 104 Fahrenheit; however, cooling has since occurred bringing a little relief, although without rain the dryness will remain a concern. Weather in the next week to ten days will bring some important rain to a part of Hebei, Shandong and Liaoning which may reduce the overall size of the most seriously impacted drought region. However, dryness in the Yellow River Basin will prevail and another round of excessive heat is due into the region next week. In the meantime, rain will continue falling frequently and abundantly in southern China where crop conditions are rated favorably.

Southeast U.S. To Get Drought Relief

Kansas City, May 7 (World Weather Inc.) – The far southeastern corner of the United States has been enduring erratic rainfall this spring that has allowed warm temperatures to evaporate moisture from the soil faster than it has received it. As a result, abnormally dry conditions and various stages of drought have been evolving in recent weeks from Florida and southeastern Alabama through a large part of southern and eastern Georgia to portions of eastern South Carolina and southeastern North Carolina. A large, cut-off, upper level low pressure system over the lower Mississippi River Basin during the next few days should eventually provide a moisture surge through some of these drier areas bringing much needed relief and improving development potential for cotton, corn, soybean, peanut and a host of other crops.
