India Rain Beneficial; Additional Precipitation Needed

Kansas City, December 30 (World Weather Inc.) – A weather disturbance from the west promoted much-needed relief to dryness this past weekend easing long term dryness. Rainfall was greatest from northern Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh to Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand while other production areas either missed out on the rain or did not receive enough to counter evaporation. The rain was beneficial for short-term crop improvements, though other rabi crop areas in northern, central, western, and eastern India need additional rain for ideal long-term crop conditions. Rain-fed fields in particular have been struggling with dryness and need moisture for aggressive growth. Drier biased conditions will return for at least the next week to ten days. Periodic rain is still expected in extreme northern and southern India, which will be welcome where it occurs.

Argentina Soil Moisture Rated Well; Steady Drying Likely

Kansas City, December 30 (World Weather Inc.) – Timely rainfall and seasonable to occasionally cooler biased temperatures in Argentina in recent weeks has held soil moisture at favorable levels, but that is about to change. Little to no rain for the next ten days to two weeks and warming temperatures will lead to a firmer topsoil within a week and crop moisture stress by mid-month. The driest areas will be in central and east-central parts of the nation.
