WORLD WEATHER HIGHLIGHTS FOR JUNE 08, 2023
- Rain is expected in the U.S. Midwest starting in the west this weekend and then advancing to the east next week
- Be cautious here…..the Gulf of Mexico is still not open as a good moisture source and the abundant rain seen in the GFS model will not likely verify
- The European model has the best forecast through day ten
- U.S. wheat production areas in the central Plains will continue to receive frequent rain, but there has not been much of a threat to grain quality with the most recent precipitation events; nonetheless, there is potential for quality declines again if it rains too frequently
- Eastern Alberta, Canada is still suffering from serious crop moisture stress
- Computer forecast models do not agree on when it will rain and how much
- World Weather, Inc. believes some rain will begin falling in the second half of this month and it will not likely be a fix all for crop development until later in the summer after atmospheric moisture is better than it will be in late June
- United Kingdom and France will get rain this weekend and then go back to a dry biased pattern for a little while longer
- The Baltic Plain and Scandinavia will continue to have the driest conditions over the next ten days with more crop moisture stress likely before rain finally evolves after June 18
- Russia’s eastern New Lands are not nearly as wet in today’s ten day forecast than it was Wednesday
- A little too much rain was removed, but relief is still anticipated through the middle part of this month occurring as both cooler temperatures and occasional rain
- China’s weather remains mostly good and unchanged from that of Wednesday
- Australia will trend drier for a while, but recent rain is inducing a well-established wheat, barley and canola crop
- India’s monsoon will not perform well for another week and probably ten days with well below normal rainfall in the south and eastern parts of the nation.
- Timely rain will continue in most tropical areas in the world over the next ten days with only pockets of dryness expected
