Southern China Flood Potential Threatens Rice, Rapeseed

Kansas City, April 17 (World Weather Inc.) – Flood potentials will increase with anticipated waves of heavy rain through the coming week to ten days in portions of southern China. The provinces most impacted will be Hunan and northern Guangxi into Jiangxi, Fujian and Zhejiang. Northern Guangdong may also be impacted. Flooding may damage a few of the southernmost rapeseed crops, but it may also have an impact on rice production in the region. Some planting delay and need for replanting of rice is a possibility because of the wet weather. In the meantime, the North China Plain will trend drier biased through the middle of next week and dryness will intensify for Hebei, Shandong, and neighboring locations. Rain will soon be needed in the North China Plain to support wheat development and the planting of spring and summer crops.

East Ukraine, Russia’s Southern Region Face More Drying

Kansas City, April 17 (World Weather Inc.) – Drying in eastern Ukraine, Russia’s Southern Region and Kazakhstan has begun to grab more attention in the commodity trade and these areas are likely to see at least ten more days of dry and warm biased conditions. In the meantime, western Russia, Belarus, and the Baltic States have seen a better mix of rain and sunseed. The weather pattern supporting these trends is stagnating and that will lead to greater rain frequency and amounts in the western Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) while dryness festers in eastern Ukraine and Russia’s Southern Region.
