Weekly Citrus Weather for Tuesday, July 7, 2026

Kansas City, July 7 (World Weather Inc.) – Florida’s citrus region saw waves of rain during the past week. The rain helped bolster soil moisture, though there is still a need for more rain to completely break the drought. The region will trend a little drier than usual during the coming week. Short-term citrus conditions will remain favorable despite the reduction in precipitation. Mexico’s citrus regions saw waves of monsoonal rain during the past week outside the extreme northeast corner of crop country. Monsoonal precipitation will continue on a frequent basis during the coming week. Citrus prospects will remain favorable. Brazil’s citrus region will be dry during the next several days. Harvesting and general farming activity will advance swiftly.

Western Europe Faces Another Ten Days Of Heat, Dryness

Kansas City, July 6 (World Weather Inc.) – Precipitation was limited for much of the Iberian Peninsula, the western two-thirds of France, and southern England during the past week. Dryness intensified for these locations and concerns for significant production cuts remain high. Other areas in Europe saw a mix of erratic rain and sunshine that improved or maintained relatively good crop conditions, at least in the short-term. Dry and warmer weather is slated for much of Western Europe this week as a high-pressure ridge returns to the region. The ground will continue to firm and may further impact long-term production potentials. Southeastern Europe will also trend drier than usual and may become too dry for ideal crop conditions. The remaining areas in Eastern Europe will see several waves of rain with mild temperatures resulting in favorable crop prospects.

Some U.S. Crop Areas Dry Down; Scattered Storms To Return

Kansas City, July 6 (World Weather Inc.) – Recent very warm temperatures and more limited rainfall led to the firming of soil in many areas from the Great Plains through the Midwest to the Delta and southeastern states over the long U.S. holiday weekend. Some of the drying was welcome in Missouri, Kentucky, southern Indiana and southern Illinois where recent excessive rain events had the ground too wet. At the same time, conditions were drying in those wetter areas another bout of excessive rain reached into central and eastern Iowa and central and northeastern Illinois where there is now a new need for drying in that area. The next two weeks will continue to bring a variety of rainfall to key U.S. crops areas maintaining a favorable production outlook for many areas. There will be ongoing concern over lower yields in some areas because of too much rain and not enough in other areas, but much of that seems “normal” for most summers.

N. America High Pressure Unlikely To Settle On U.S. Midwest

Kansas City, July 6 (World Weather Inc.) – A strong ridge of high pressure advertised over central North America has added a little excitement to the commodity futures trading day today, but it is unlikely to settle over the heart of the Midwest for any significant length of time. The ridge will help Canada’s Prairies dry down and warm up while raising some concern for spring and summer crops in the northern U.S. Plains and northwestern Corn and Soybean Belt, but there should be timely relief in “most” (not all) crop areas.
