Weekly Citrus Weather For Tuesday, January 21, 2025

Kansas City, January 21 (World Weather Inc.) – Arctic air swept across North America in recent days, dropping temperatures well below normal in several locations. While some of the colder air reached Florida, no significant frost and freezes were noted in citrus country. Colder biased conditions will persist during the next several days for Florida with nighttime lows dropping to the 30s Fahrenheit in northern fringes of citrus country. However, no significant citrus damage is expected. Brazil’s citrus region received rain on a frequent basis during the past week with more on the way during the coming week. Development conditions will remain favorable. In Mexico, arctic air has also promoted colder biased conditions in northeastern portions of citrus country in recent days. Frost and light freezes will occur in portions of Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas Wednesday morning and may damage a minor amount of crop. Citrus in southern Texas will also be impacted. There is hope that very little of the citrus has started to flower and overall damage should be minimal.

U.S. Bitter Cold To Threaten Sugarcane, Southern Wheat

Kansas City, January 20 – (World Weather Inc.) – Bitter cold temperatures occurred during the long U.S. holiday weekend, although the impact on wheat was minimal – at least so far. The coldest temperatures are still forthcoming over the next few nights and there may be some negative impact on lower Midwest, Delta and Tennessee River Basin production areas. However, damage to sugarcane in Louisiana may be more significant.

Europe Drying Improving Field Conditions In France, U.K.

Kansas City, January 17 (World Weather Inc.) – Portions of Europe received above to well above normal precipitation during the past month. The waves of precipitation lifted soil moisture to adequate or excessive levels from portions of the U.K., France and Germany into parts of Eastern Europe. The moisture will support a good outlook for both early spring winter-crop development and possibly spring planting prospects; however, some of the wet soil increased flood potentials and may cause fieldwork delays if there is not sufficient drying. Some of that needed drying is expected over the coming week with Eastern Europe continuing to dry out during the latter days of January.

U.S. Bracing For Blast Of Arctic Air Through Early Next Week

Kansas City, January 17 (World Weather Inc.) – A pool of warmer air spread across portions of North America in recent days, though the warmer period will quickly come to an end this weekend as a blast of arctic air surges southward across much of North America east of the Rockies. Temperatures will plummet well below normal for this time of year, increasing energy demands and potentially stressing livestock. Pockets in Nebraska, Iowa, and neighboring locations will also experience sub-zero degree Fahrenheit readings Monday morning while also having little to no snow on the ground. Winterkill will be a concern and may damage a minor amount of wheat and other crops produced this time of year. Freezes will reach as far south as northern Florida, southern Louisiana and southern Texas, though the coldest air should remain outside the main citrus areas of Florida. Arctic air will shift into eastern North America toward the middle of next week, keeping temperatures below normal across the region, but the last days in January will be warmer.
