Driest U.S. Midwest Region To Get Needed Rain

Kansas City, June 3 (World Weather Inc.) – Planting of corn, soybeans, and several other crops is winding down in the United States. Significant rain fell over many production areas east of the Rocky Mountains in recent weeks and crop conditions slowly improved. Several areas in the Plains, Delta, and U.S. southeast were still under the influence of drought at the end of May, although significant relief had occurred in many areas. An active weather pattern is in store for the Plains, Midwest, and Delta through the middle of next week with waves of rain and thunderstorms to help keep soil moisture near current levels or improve it. One of the driest areas in the Midwest from northeastern Missouri and southeastern Iowa to Michigan will get needed relief while the southeastern states fail to get enough moisture for a serious improvement in crop or field conditions.

France, Parts Of SE Europe Will Dry Down Further

Kansas City, June 3 (World Weather Inc.) – A large section of France, Hungary, and neighboring areas in southeastern Europe were drier than usual in May. Soil moisture is lacking in several locations, most notably in France where many areas have a significant shortage of moisture. These areas are in need of significant rain to improve establishment conditions for the recently-planted crops and long-term production potentials. Concern over potential production declines will increase if drier biased conditions persist in the coming weeks. For now, though, the situation is not a crisis, but rain must fall soon. Other areas in Europe have enough moisture to support relatively good crop prospects, though timely rain will still be needed.
