In the Midwestern United States, after a wave of hot weather, the initial conditions for corn crops will improve. At the end of next week, the temperature will drop, which will improve soil moisture and promote plant development against the background of projected precipitation.

 

In the south of Brazil, there have been favorable rains in the corn and wheat growing areas, and the corn harvest in Mato Grosso is fast due to the dry weather.

 

In Western Europe, rains are expected in the next 5-7 days, which will reduce the impact of drought on crops.
