It was written that the rainy September was followed by a dry October, so the upper soil layer is drying out more and more in the country, and therefore the autumn grain growers would need more and more precipitation. They added: from the middle of the previous week, fog and low-level stratus clouds occupied an increasingly large area of ​​the country, and then the wind that picked up at the beginning of the week tore up the cloud layer in an increasingly large area. There was no frost, and in cloudy weather the daily temperature fluctuation was small, the minimums were around 10 degrees Celsius, so the average temperature was well above the average.

The last time it rained nationwide was on October 1

Since then, most of the country has not received significant rain, after the rainy September, the amount of precipitation in October was again well below the average. The part of the soil close to the surface is becoming drier, although evaporation was negligible in foggy weather. In the northeastern part of Transdanubia and the Great Plain, the moisture content in proportion to the amount of water that can be used by plants decreased below the critical 40 percent. In the northern and southwestern parts of the country, the moisture supply of the soils is still good, but in the Lowland and the Alföld, the near-surface and deeper layers are both dry, they wrote.
