WEEKLY WEATHER AND CROP BULLETIN

idespread showers continued across large sections of the central and eastern U.S., maintaining adequate

to locally excessive soil moisture for many summer crops. Pockets of heavy rain sparked local flooding in a few areas, including the western Corn Belt and the Tennessee Valley. However, late-June rain bypassed a few areas, such as the southern High Plains and the western Gulf Coast region. Minimal rain also fell during the week from the Great Lakes region into the Mid-Atlantic States. Meanwhile, nearly all of the West experienced dry

July 3, 2018 Weekly Weather and Crop Bulletin 5 (Continued from front cover) weather, hampering wildfire containment efforts in areas where temperatures were elevated and winds were erratic. In particular, more than three dozen Western wildfires were active at the end of June, with some of the largest fires burning in Colorado and northern California. Hotter-than-normal weather continued to dominate the country, with heat surging across the central and southern Plains at mid-week and into the Midwest by Friday. Portions of California and the Southwest also experienced some very hot weather. Near-normal temperatures were limited to a few regions, including southern Florida, the Northeast, the northern High Plains, the Northwest, and areas along the Pacific Coast. The heat surge boosted temperatures to 100°F or higher on the Plains as far north as western and southern Nebraska. Multiple triple-digit readings were noted across the central and southern High Plains, as well as parts of California, the southern Great Basin, and the Southwest. Late-week heat brought 90-degree heat to most Midwestern areas and highs of 95°F or greater to several Corn Belt locations. Shifting showers brought locally heavy rain, sometimes accompanied by flash flooding, gusty winds, and large hail, to a variety of locations. On the 25th, Cape Girardeau, MO, experienced its wettest June day on record, with a 4.16-inch total (previously, 3.83 inches on June 28, 1989). It was also Cape Girardeau’s wettest day since April 25, 2011, when 4.69 inches fell. Daily-record totals topped 2 inches in many other communities, including Fort Smith, AR (2.86 inches on June 24); Des Moines, IA (2.67 inches on June 25); Florence, SC (2.34 inches on June 25); Waterloo, IA (2.29 inches on June 30); Crossville, TN (2.24 inches on June 27); Rockford, IL (2.20 inches on June 26); and Wilmington, NC (2.09 inches on June 26). The late-month rain capped Rockford’s wettest June and month on record; the 14.23-inch total erased its June 1993 standard of 11.85 inches and edged its August 2007 mark of 13.98 inches. Rockford received at least an inch of rain on 6 days during June—a record in that location for any month—and collected more than 2 inches on 3 days (June 15, 21, and 26), tying an August 1936 standard. Early-week heat gripped the south-central U.S. before expanding. On June 23-24, Del Rio, TX, posted consecutive daily-record highs (106°F both days). Other record-setting highs in Texas for the 24th included 108°F in Midland and 107°F in San Angelo. By mid-week, heat arrived in California, the Great Basin, and the Southwest, and surged across the central High Plains. Daily-record highs rose to 98°F on June 26 in Nevada locations such as Tonopah and Eureka. Colorado Springs, CO, collected consecutive daily-records highs (99 and 100°F, respectively) on June 27-28. Elsewhere in Colorado,

daily-record highs climbed to 106°F (on June 27) in Pueblo and 105°F (on June 28) in Denver. The high in Denver tied an all-time record that had been previously achieved on August 8, 1878; July 20, 2005; and June 25 and 26, 2012. Scottsbluff, NE, also registered a maximum temperature of 105°F on June 28, representing its highest reading since July 24, 2014 (also 105°F). Late in the week, increasing heat in the Midwest and Northeast led to record-setting highs for June 30 in locations such as Alpena, MI (99°F), and Burlington, VT (93°F). It was Alpena’s hottest day since August 6, 2001, when the high reached 100°F. There was little relief at night, as Chicago, IL, reported a low of 80°F on June 30. Chicago last failed to fall below the 80-degree mark on July 23, 2012. In Traverse City, MI, the June 30 low of 82°F tied a monthly record originally set on June 30, 1927. Although numerous wildfires remained active across Alaska, locally heavy showers dotted the southern part of the state. In fact, Bethel received a daily-record rainfall of 1.09 inches on June 30, representing the wettest day in that location since August 12, 2017, when 1.27 inches fell. Bethel’s monthly rainfall climbed to 3.26 inches, 190 percent of normal. Meanwhile, King Salmon’s June rainfall totaled 3.10 inches (188 percent of normal), aided by daily-record amounts (0.34 and 0.42 inch, respectively) on June 26 and 28. Across interior Alaska, however, the lightning-sparked Zitziana River and Mooseheart fires—about 100 miles west of Fairbanks and 8 miles south of Manley Hot Springs, respectively—had collectively burned nearly 90,000 acres of vegetation by late June. Farther south, Hawaiian showers were generally confined to windward locations. Kahului, Maui, received rainfall totaling 0.01 inch on June 26, marking its first and only measurable precipitation of the month. June rainfall at the state’s major airport observation sites ranged from 0.01 inch (5 percent of normal) in Kahului to 7.73 inches (105 percent) in Hilo, on the Big Island.

Widespread rain over eastern Europe contrasted with dry,

locally hot conditions in central and western portions of the

continent. High pressure maintained mostly sunny skies from

Spain into Germany and Scandinavia, although moderate to

heavy showers (5-45 mm) spread into northern Spain by

week’s end. Soil moisture remained generally favorable for

spring grains and summer crops, though short-term dryness

(locally less than 25 percent-of-normal rainfall over the past 30

days) has reduced moisture supplies in southeastern England

and the Low Countries. Heat (35-38°C) accompanied the

early-week dryness in Spain, but corn was not yet in the

temperature-sensitive reproductive stages of development.

Meanwhile, a slow-moving storm system produced widespread

moderate to heavy rainfall (10-100 mm, locally more) from

northeastern Europe into Greece and the Balkans. While a

warm latter-half of the spring and early start to the summer has

accelerated summer crops into reproduction over southeastern

Europe up to two weeks ahead of average, yield prospects for

corn, soybeans, sunflowers, and cotton remained good to

excellent due to wetter-than-normal conditions over the same

timeframe (90-day rainfall at or above 100 percent of normal).

Conversely, drought continued in north-central Europe, with

the driest conditions (less than 50 percent of normal over the

past 60 days) noted in northeastern Germany, northwestern

Poland, and Scandinavia; consequently, prospects for spring-

sown crops continued to decline in the aforementioned locales.

EUROPE

mailto:[email protected]



Dry, hot weather in Russia contrasted with additional

beneficial rain over the western half of the region. A slow-

moving storm system was responsible for 10 to 85 mm of

rain from Ukraine northward into Belarus and western

Russia. The wet weather maintained good to excellent

prospects for corn in north-central Ukraine and improved

conditions for summer crops in previously-dry southeastern

and northwestern Ukraine (sunflowers and soybeans,

respectively). Likewise, prospects for spring-sown crops

improved in Belarus and the western Central District, though

localized drought (90-day rainfall less than 50 percent of

normal) lingered. In southern Russia, early-week heat

stressed tasseling corn, with readings topping 37°C on 4

consecutive days in Krasnodar (Southern District) and 5 days

in Stavropol (North Caucasus District); temperatures as high

as 39.6°C likely caused some irreversible loss to corn yield

potential in southwestern Russia. However, cooler

conditions with much-needed rain (10-20 mm) eased crop

stress by the end of the period, although significant moisture

shortages (locally less than 25 percent-of-normal rainfall over

the past 90 days) lingered over southern portions of the

Southern District and immediate environs. Heat (35-38°C)

and short-term dryness were also lowering yield prospects for

filling spring grains and vegetative to reproductive summer

crops in southern portions of Russia’s Volga District,

particularly in areas bordering the Southern District.

WESTERN FSU




Rain continued in the north, while seasonably dry weather

favored cotton in southern portions of the region. Across the

spring wheat belt of central Russia and northern Kazakhstan,

widespread moderate to heavy showers (10-65 mm)

maintained adequate to abundant moisture supplies for

vegetative wheat and barley. Cool temperatures (1-3°C below

normal) in western spring grain areas maintained a slower-

than-normal crop development pace, while temperatures up to

5°C above normal in eastern portions of Russia’s Siberia

District accelerated spring wheat growth. In the south,

seasonably sunny, hot weather (daytime temperatures in the

upper 30s) promoted the development of irrigated cotton,

which was entering or progressing through the flowering stage

of development.

EASTERN FSU




Showers lingered in northern- and western-most growing

areas, while seasonably sunny skies prevailed elsewhere. A

slow-moving storm system over southeastern Europe

triggered moderate to heavy showers and thunderstorms (10-

70 mm) in western and northern portions of Turkey,

providing supplemental moisture for reproductive sunflowers

(northwest), vegetative to reproductive corn (Black Sea

Coast), and flowering cotton (west). The rest of Turkey’s

primary summer crop areas (south and southeast) were

seasonably dry; irrigation supplies for southern Turkey’s corn

and cotton are favorable following a wet latter half of spring

and early summer. Sunny weather across the rest of the

Middle East promoted fieldwork, including late winter grain

harvesting.

MIDDLE EAST




After stalling in central India over the last two weeks, the

summer monsoon made significant progress northward,

bringing substantial rainfall (over 25 mm) to most major crop

areas in India and neighboring portions of Pakistan. In

particular, key growing areas in Maharashtra, Madhya

Pradesh, and Rajasthan received over 50 mm of rain,

prompting cotton, soybean, and groundnut sowing.

However, Gujarat, a major cotton and groundnut producer,

remained unfavorably dry. To the east, heavy showers (25-

100 mm or more) provided a boost to soil moisture and

irrigation supplies for rice, but more rain would be welcomed

in interior rice areas (Chhattisgarh and Bihar) where amounts

were less. In northern India, rainfall averaged over 50 mm,

providing supplemental moisture to irrigated rice and cotton

while also increasing irrigation supplies. Similarly, seasonal

showers (25-75 mm) arrived on time in northern Pakistan,

bringing additional moisture to irrigated rice and cotton.

More widespread rain would be welcomed to bolster

irrigation supplies in southern Pakistan; year-over-year

sowing was lower in the south due to reduced irrigation

water. Meanwhile, heavy showers (averaging over 60 mm)

continued in Bangladesh, maintaining excessive wetness that

is on par with last year; last year’s rice crop was reduced

from overly wet conditions.

SOUTH ASIA




Showers across northeastern China provided a beneficial boost

to soil moisture for vegetative corn and soybeans. Much of

Heilongjiang, Jilin, and neighboring portions of Inner Mongolia

received over 25 mm of rain, while Liaoning reported lesser

amounts. The rainfall brought seasonal (beginning May 1) totals

near to above normal in most areas and was particularly timely

as crops approach reproduction. However, more moisture

would be welcomed in Liaoning, where seasonal totals were less

than 75 percent of normal. Meanwhile on the North China

Plain, wet weather early in the week gave way to a brief period

of temperatures approaching 40°C. The early-week wetness

(10-75 mm) slowed the last vestiges of wheat harvesting but

improved soil moisture for corn and other summer crops.

Farther south, 25 to 50 mm or more of rain was recorded in the

Yangtze Valley, with lesser amounts (10-25 mm) on the outer

edge of the valley. Most of southern China has experienced

slight to moderate moisture deficits over the last 60 days, and

more rain would be welcomed to aid rice development.

Elsewhere, much-needed rainfall (50-150 mm or more) in South

Korea all but erased a month’s worth of dryness in key rice

areas, while continued showers (25-100 mm) in North Korea

and Japan kept rice well watered.

EASTERN ASIA




Widespread, heavy showers returned to much of the region,

keeping rice and other summer crops well watered.

Thailand and environs reported 25 to over 100 mm of rain,

maintaining or improving moisture supplies for rice.

However, more rain would be welcomed in central Thailand

to bring seasonal totals up to normal and bolster irrigation

supplies; seasonal totals are 87 percent of normal. In the

Philippines, beneficial showers (25-100 mm) continued in

key northern and western rice areas, but seasonal moisture

continued to be less than half of normal in the northeast.

Meanwhile in oil palm areas of Indonesia and Malaysia, 25

to 50 mm (locally more) boosted soil moisture, although

rainfall in portions of western Malaysia remained well

below normal over the last 90 days.

SOUTHEAST ASIA




Widespread showers (5-15 mm, locally near 25 mm) overspread

eastern Australia, providing a much-needed increase in topsoil

moisture for wheat and other drought-stressed winter crops in

the north. The rain helped stabilize crop conditions in southern

Queensland and northern New South Wales, where conditions

have steadily deteriorated since the beginning of the growing

season. Despite the beneficial rain, frequent, soaking rains will

be needed in upcoming months to help improve currently poor

yield prospects. Elsewhere in eastern Australia, widespread

showers helped maintain good yield prospects in southern New

South Wales, where crop conditions are considerably better. In

contrast, mostly dry weather in South Australia and northern

Victoria favored fieldwork but reduced moisture supplies for

vegetative winter grains and oilseeds. In Western Australia,

widespread showers (5-25 mm) helped maintain good early-

season yield prospects for vegetative wheat, barley, and canola.

Temperatures in the wheat belt were generally seasonable,

averaging within 1°C of normal.

AUSTRALIA




Continuing dryness supported seasonal fieldwork throughout

much of the region. No rain fell from La Pampa and Buenos

Aires northward through Salta and western sections of Chaco

and Formosa, with light to moderate rainfall (10-50 mm) from

eastern sections of Chaco and Formosa eastward through

Misiones. Weekly average temperatures were near normal in

eastern farming areas and up to 3°C above normal in the west.

Daytime highs ranged from the upper 10s (degrees C) in the

southern winter grain belt (La Pampa and southern Buenos

Aires) to the lower 30s in the vicinity of Formosa. As the

week began, nighttime lows dropped to -5°C throughout much

of La Pampa and Buenos Aires — slowing winter grain

emergence — but somewhat warmer conditions gradually

developed. According to the government of Argentina, corn

was 69 percent harvested as of June 28, slightly ahead of last

year’s pace; soybean harvesting was nearing completion at 99

percent. In addition, winter wheat was 64 percent planted, 6

points ahead of last year’s pace.

ARGENTINA




Beneficial rain returned to parts of southern Brazil, boosting

moisture for emerging wheat but coming too late for most

summer crops. Rainfall totaled 10 to 50 mm — locally

higher — from southern Parana southward, with drier

conditions in northern Parana and environs. According to the

government of Parana, wheat was 93 percent planted as of

June 25; similarly, wheat was 80 percent planted in Rio

Grande do Sul as of June 28. Warmth and dryness prevailed

elsewhere in Brazil’s interior farming areas, with daytime

highs reaching the middle and upper 30s (degrees C) in Mato

Grosso and Tocantins. In Mato Grosso, corn was 21 percent

harvested as of June 29, roughly equal to the 5-year average;

cotton harvesting was still in the early stages. Meanwhile,

seasonal rainfall (greater than 10 mm) continued along the

eastern coast, boosting moisture reserves for sugarcane,

cocoa, and coffee.

BRAZIL




Locally heavy showers continued throughout much of southern

Mexico, maintaining overall favorable prospects for crops

dependent upon seasonal rainfall. Rainfall totaled 25 to 50

mm (locally higher) across the southern plateau (Jalisco to

Puebla), marking the third week of welcome moisture

following an extended period of dryness. Similar amounts

were recorded along the southern Pacific Coast (Michoacan to

Oaxaca) and in the southeast, including Campeche and parts of

Tabasco and Chiapas. The moisture extended northward along

the Gulf Coast, with amounts approaching 100 mm as far north

as San Luis Potosi and Tamaulipas, though above-normal

temperatures (daytime highs reaching the upper 30s degrees C)

maintained high evaporative losses. Summer heat (highs

reaching the 40s) prevailed elsewhere in northern Mexico,

aiding drydown of maturing winter grains. Monsoon showers

(10-25 mm, locally higher) increased reservoir levels in

northwestern watersheds as far north as Sonora and

Chihuahua.

MEXICO




Warmer-than-normal weather continued to favor the

development of spring crops, though lack of precipitation has

begun to take a toll on soil conditions. Weekly temperatures

averaged 1 to 3°C above normal, with daytime highs generally

in the upper 20s and lower 30s (degrees C). Precipitation was

light throughout most of the region (10 mm across the majority

of Alberta and Saskatchewan), except in Manitoba and

southwestern Saskatchewan where showers returned (20-50

mm, locally higher). According to reports from the Canadian

government, topsoil moisture has declined in Alberta and

Saskatchewan, where dry conditions are affecting crops, hay,

and pasture conditions. However, showers in Manitoba and

southwestern Saskatchewan brought some relief to these areas

most affected by dryness.

CANADIAN PRAIRIES




Hot, seasonably wet weather continued across most of Ontario

while drier conditions returned to Quebec. Rainfall totaled 15

to 40 mm from southwestern Ontario into central Ontario

while less than 15 mm fell in Quebec and eastern Ontario. The

wet weather in southwestern and central Ontario replenished

topsoil moisture while warm temperatures favored the

development of spring crops. Average temperatures across

Ontario were 1 to 3°C above normal with daytime maximum

temperatures reaching the low to mid 30s (degrees C). In

Quebec, average temperatures were 1 to 2°C above normal

with daytime maximum temperatures reaching the low 30s

(degrees C).
