They wrote that the upper half-meter layer of the soil in the north-west and south-east of the country had become critically dry in many places by June 11, its moisture content did not reach 40 percent of the amount of water usable for plants. The extensive rain from Wednesday night to Thursday morning significantly increased the moisture content of the soil in many places. The half to one meter deep soil layer has a good water supply throughout the country for the time being, thanks to the abundant precipitation of the winter semester.
The second heat wave of the year arrived at the end of the week, the peak temperature exceeded 35 degrees Celsius in several places on Monday and Wednesday
They added: the harvesting of the ear crops is in full swing, the harvest started in quite variable weather, due to the previous heavy rains there are also tilted fields in several directions, but in the dry weather of the past few days, the work was able to progress well. Corn and sunflowers are well developed in most places: corn is in the cob stage and sunflowers are in bloom. For their further optimal development, abundant rainfall in the coming weeks would be necessary for the formation and subsequent growth of the grains.
In the continuation, the heat wave will intensify again from Saturday, the temperature of the hottest hours from Sunday is likely to be over 35 degrees in many places
The region will be affected by cold fronts on Thursday, Monday and in the middle of next week, which may cause showers and thunderstorms in varying amounts. On the regional average, the southern part of the country may see a larger amount of rain on Thursday, after which the chance of precipitation is lower. Persistent leaf wetness and high humidity are unlikely. Sunny weather will be typical, with very strong UV radiation, and the leaves and fruits of sensitive plants are at risk of sunburn.
