OTHER
WORLD WEATHER ISSUES

  • South
    Africa still needs significant rain for its winter wheat, barley and canola crops, especially those in eastern production areas
    • Not
      much rain is expected over the coming week, although a few sporadic showers are anticipated
    • No
      precipitation fell in South Africa during the weekend

  • Center
    West and southern parts of center south Brazil are advertised to receive scattered showers and thunderstorms today into Wednesday Morning with some follow up rain through the weekend in northern parts of Mato Grosso and areas south into southern Brazil
    • The
      precipitation might eventually help lift topsoil moisture for “some” early season soybean planting, but much more rain will be needed
    • Coffee
      and citrus flowering “may” occur in a few areas from Sao Paulo into southern Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro while sugarcane and early corn experience a moisture boost to improve crop development
    • Follow
      up rain will be very important to induce the best early season planting conditions for soybeans and to induce better flowering conditions for coffee and citrus
  • Southern
    Brazil rice, corn and wheat areas will get periodic rainfall through the next two weeks
    • Crop
      and field conditions will either improve or continue good through the end of this month

    China weather will continue favorable for cotton and other crop maturation and early harvest progress
    • Alternating
      periods of warm and cool weather will occur through the next week to 8 or 9 days with restricted rainfall expected
    • The
      environment will support crop maturation, leaf defoliation and early harvesting
    • High
      temperatures Thursday were in the 70s and 80s Fahrenheit and lows today in the upper 40s and 50s
    • Frost
      and freezes may occur late this week and into the weekend in northeastern Xinjiang, but it will be more likely next week

  • India
    weather will continue wettest in central, southern and far eastern parts of the nation this workweek while net drying occurs in the north
    • Monsoonal
      precipitation will continue without much withdrawal through the workweek, but a more significant withdrawing trend is expected in the last week of September and early October improving crop maturation conditions in central parts of the nation
    • Remnants
      of Tropical Storm Noul will into India from Southeast Asia this week and will bring some enhanced rainfall to parts of India
      • Once
        this disturbance dissipates monsoonal rainfall will begin to withdraw once again
    • Next
      week’s weather will trend drier in central parts of the nation
    • Weather
      conditions in most of India are still favorable, but drying will soon be needed in Gujarat as more rain falls this week
  • U.S.
    weather over the next two weeks
    • Net
      drying is expected over the coming week in most of the Great Plains and across the Midwest
    • Rain
      will fall in the Delta and southeastern states from mid- through late week this week ending during the weekend all of which will come from Tropical Storm Beta
      • Rainfall
        will range from 2.00 to 6.00 inches from southeastern Texas through the lower Delta to Mississippi, Tennessee, northern Georgia and the Carolinas; however, rainfall will be most significant in Louisiana and southern Mississippi where some flooding is expected
        • A
          few areas in southeastern Louisiana will receive 6.00 to 10.00 inches of rain resulting in some flooding
        • Cotton,
          rice and a few other crops will be negatively impacted by the heavy rain in the lower Delta
        • Crops
          elsewhere are not likely to be significantly impacted by rain from the storm, although wet conditions will induce some harvest delays and could raise the potential for boll rot in the southeastern states
    • Some
      rain will fall in the Pacific Northwest Wednesday through Friday, although mountainous areas will be wettest and the impact on soil moisture in crop areas will not be very great
    • Most
      other areas in the western United States will be dry and warm through October 2
    • Rain
      will impact the eastern Midwest this weekend and shift to the northeastern and middle Atlantic Coast states early next week
      • Amounts
        in the eastern Midwest will vary from 0.20 to 0.75 inch with a few totals to 1.50 inches
    • Showers,
      drizzle and cool temperatures will occur in the Great Lakes region early next week
    • Dry
      weather will occur again in the balance of next week in the eastern Midwest, Delta and southeastern states
    • A
      new frontal system will move across the central Plains October 2-4 and into the Midwest Oct 3-6 producing rainfall of 0.20 to 0.80 inch and local amounts of 1.00 to 2.00 inches
      •  Confidence
        in this event is low
    • Summer
      crop maturation and harvest progress will be good in the Great Plains and western Corn Belt this week through the first half of next week

      harvest progress is also expected in the eastern Midwest through this workweek and again during next week’s workweek
    • West
      Texas will be dry through much of the next two weeks
    • Temperatures
      will be warmer than usual in the western and central United States while near average in central and southeastern parts of the nation during the week
      • Cooling
        is expected in the eastern one-third of the nation next week
  • The
    bottom line for the U.S. is one of concern for crop conditions in the lower and middle Delta where it will become too wet for a while this week. Concern will also rise over harvest delays in the southeastern states. Most crops will survive the wet bias, but
    there will be some concern over cotton fiber quality in both the Delta and parts of the southeastern states. Boll rot potentials will continue to rise in those areas impacted by heavy rain from Tropical Storm Sally once the new moisture from Tropical Storm
    Beta arrives later this week. Hard red winter wheat production areas will continue to dry out and significant rain will be needed soon to support planting, emergence and establishment.  Otherwise the dry bias in the Plains and Midwest will be good for harvest
    progress.
