Typhoon Man-Yi Next In Line For Luzon, Philippines

Kansas City, November 15 (World Weather Inc.) – Tropical Storm Usagi recently clipped the northeast corner of Luzon Island, Philippines, bringing strong winds and localized flooding to several locations. Overall crop losses were suspected of being minimal, though clean-up efforts were again thwarted as Usagi was the fifth tropical disturbance to impact the country in recent weeks. Typhoon Man-Yi is slated to be the next disturbance in line to impact Luzon this coming weekend. Man-Yi will shift from southeast to northwest across the island and will likely promote torrential rain and damaging winds. Damage to crops, property and infrastructure is likely. Recently planted crops may need to be reseeded as well. Typhoon Man-Yi will then enter the South China Sea next week and could track near Hainan, China or Vietnam toward the middle and latter part of next week.

Typhoons Usagi, Man-Yi To Impact Taiwan, Luzon Island

Kansas City, November 15 (World Weather Inc.) – Typhoon Usagi passed over northern Luzon Island, Philippines Thursday and will now approach the southern part of Taiwan. Heavy rain and strong wind speeds may have damaged some of the unharvested rice and corn, along with a few palm and cocoa trees before the disturbance shifted over the South China Sea. Similar conditions may impact a part of Taiwan this weekend, although the storm will be much weaker than it was Thursday in the northern Philippines. Flooding will again be a concern and may damage infrastructure. In the meantime, Typhoon Man-Yi was over the Philippine Sea Thursday and will bring heavy rain and strong wind speeds back to Luzon Island during the weekend before shifting over the South China Sea next week.

NW Summer Crops In South Africa Need Additional Rain

Kansas City, November 14 (World Weather Inc.) – Planting of summer grain, oilseed, cotton, and other crops is underway in much of South Africa. Timely rain in recent weeks helped support relatively good establishment and early-season development in southern and eastern production areas. However, portions of Free State and North West still have a shortage of moisture and need additional rain. The eastern half of the country will see a mix of spotty rain and sunshine during the coming week that will allow for aggressive planting. The moisture profile will remain near current levels and establishment conditions will remain favorable. In the meantime, harvesting of winter wheat will advance swiftly in the main production areas.
