Canada's Prairies are far from out of trouble this year. Dryness is still a serious problem in eastern and some southern parts of the region as well as in the Peace River Region. This prognosticator is probably too bullish on rain. The outlook tries to reflect the potential for localized areas of beneficial moisture, but it is likely too wet in general. A high pressure ridge is expected over the Prairies late in the first week of July and on into the second week. Heat and dryness will return crop moisture stress in many areas that were relieved in June and worsen conditions in areas that missed the rain. A mid-month update may reduce rain in many areas, but an assessment of the high pressure ridge expected in the second week of July is needed first. Inside this report you will also find updated soil moisture maps for various places around the world and special reports on the U.S., Australia and South America.
