- France may experience some much needed rain in the coming week, although the precipitation is not likely to be very great in the next day or two; the change comes gradually
- Other areas in Europe will see a more favorable weather pattern
- Australia winter wheat, barley and canola production areas are expecting some timely rain to support better planting and emergence conditions, although greater volumes of moisture will still needed in interior Western Australia, interior South Australia and parts of Queensland
- China’s dry region will have opportunity for “some” rain in the second week of the forecast bringing a little relief for unirrigated summer crops
- Russia’s Southern Region and neighboring areas of eastern Ukraine and western Kazakhstan are advertised to see greater rain late next week
- India’s second week forecast is wetter in southern and eastern parts of the nation with the region from Odisha to Madhya Pradesh and eastern Maharashtra still advertised to be wettest in that June 12-18 period.
- Argentina will be dry biased for the coming week and then may experience a boost in rainfall in the central and eastern production areas near mid-month
- The precipitation will be well-timed after some aggressive early season wheat and barley planting in the coming week
- No changes in Brazil’s weather was noted with abundant rain in the south (and in Paraguay) and dry conditions in center west and the northeast
- Southern Mexico and Central America rainfall continues to increase benefiting future corn, sorghum and a host of other crop development
- Too much rain will fall in U.S. hard red winter wheat production areas during the coming week raising more concern over wheat conditions in Oklahoma and southeastern wheat areas of Kansas
- Abundant rain in the U.S. Midwest, Great Plains and Delta will limit fieldwork while ensuring moisture abundance well into June
- Some additional delay in late season planting is expected
- Canada’s western Prairies may trend wetter near mid-month
- Ridge building in North America will excite a few folks in the market place during the second half of June, but be careful the jet stream is too strong for a seriously strong blocking weather pattern and all of the moisture in and on the ground in the central Plains, lower Midwest and Delta will keep the southern part of any ridge weak due to feedback moisture from the soil.
