Mexico Drought Unlikely To Break Before Mid-May

Kansas City, April 11 (World Weather Inc.) – Precipitation for Mexico was largely lower than usual during the past month. Drought prevailed in the northwestern, west-central, and north-central parts of the country due to the lack of rain. Abnormally dry pockets have also started popping up and expanding in several other locations in central and southern Mexico. The lack of abundant precipitation has been favorable for maturing winter crops; however, production has been cut from many areas because of poor winter rainfall for dryland areas and poor water supply replenishment since drought began a year ago. Early season summer crop planting may be off to a slow start in southern production areas due to delayed seasonal rains. Weather patterns in North America are stagnating and unlikely to change for Mexico until the monsoon kicks in during May. Northern Mexico’s best rainfall will not likely arrive until June.

U.S. Midwest, Plains Late Spring Weather To Look Like 1968

Kansas City, April 10 (World Weather Inc.) – Weather on planet earth is the result of the mixing of many atmospheric and oceanic parameters and most of those parameters are cyclical in nature. However, each of the influences on weather operate independently resulting in the overlapping of cycles that rarely line up similarly from one year to another. Meteorologists have a tough time making long range predictions because of this situation and will usually use the most dominating weather influences to derive their forecasts. This spring there are three larger influences on weather and they include the solar cycle, the lunar cycle and ENSO (El Nino/Southern Oscillation). World Weather, Inc. has looked at 1968 as a possible analog year for spring 2025 because of its similarity from each of these three patterns. If correct, the remainder of spring should trend wetter in the northern U.S. Plains, southern Canada’s Prairies and the upper U.S. Midwest while the Pacific Northwest receives normal precipitation and more rain falls across the region from eastern Texas to the Delta and lower Ohio River Basin. There may also be ongoing dryness from the southwestern Plains into the west-central Corn and Soybean Belt and in the southeastern states.
