Agrometeorology: the drought intensified in the Alföld and the central part of Tiszántúl

The near-surface soil layer in the central regions of the Great Plain and a significant part of the Tiszántúl and in the northern and northeastern areas of the Transdanubia is critically dry, while it contains a sufficient amount of moisture in the south, southwest and north, northeast.
Autumn crops develop two to three weeks earlier than usual
The corn plants are blooming, the autumn cabbage rape is in the phase of seed formation, and the stocks are quite sparse in many places. In most places, ryegrass and canola still find a sufficient amount of moisture in the soil during the water-demanding development phase. Sunflowers and corn are developing intensively, but in many places in the Great Plain and in the northeastern part of Transdanubia, they would require more precipitation than before. Sunny, warm weather is very favorable for acacia to bloom in the northern and northeastern part of the country.
