Development conditions will remain favorable. Brazil’s citrus region will trend unusually wet during the coming week. Harvesting and general farming activity may be disrupted.

Indonesia, Malaysia Rainfall To Increase Once Again

Kansas City, June 9 (World Weather Inc.) – Much of Southeast Asia has experienced erratic rainfall recently with some areas in Indonesia seeing notable drying. Timely rain will become increasingly more important as El Nino continues to intensify. Many areas in Indonesia and Malaysia in particular experienced uneven rainfall in recent weeks in part due to the Madden-Julian Oscillation. Unusually light and sporadic rain has been impacting Sumatra and Java in the past ten days along with portions of Sulawesi while greater rain occurred to the north and east. A change in weather is slated for the coming ten days that will support a return of more abundant rain. Relief from recent drying in Java, Sumatra and Sulawesi is expected and that is very important with El Nino coming on strong soon. El Nino will eventually win out and induce a more extended period of drier than usual weather raising concern for all crops in Southeast Asia.

U.S. Wheat Quality Still Good; Rain Frequency Monitored

Kansas City, June 9 (World Weather Inc.) – Rain has been falling frequently in portions of the U.S. Plains and Midwest during the past couple of weeks, but World Weather, Inc. does not believe that a serious threat to soft red wheat n the Midwest or hard red wheat in the central Plains has evolved. However, the high frequency of rain, wet field conditions, high humidity and milder temperatures coming up in the next week could change that situation for some areas. Drier and warmer weather is always best for maturing small grains to protect them from a grain quality decline. Weather conditions in the next couple of weeks will be closely monitored, but as of today the quality of this year’s crops has not likely been seriously impacted outside of a few mid-south production areas.
