In contrast, precipita- Dn over much of southern Euro- ;an USSR and western Siberia was )preciably below normal. Fre- jent and widespread January storms provided above average moisture. December was much drier than normal in most of Eastern and Western Europe and temperatures tended to be above normal. Good rains, however, occurred over much of the western Mediterranean re- gion. Moderate temperatures ac- companied much wetter conditions in northern regions in January. In North America, precipitation has been sparce over much of the Great Plains, especially the southwest portion. Dry December weather favored harvests of wheat and flaxseed in Argentina. Summer crops and pas- tures, however, continue to deterio- rate, especially early-sown corn. Sorghum and sunflowers fared bet- ter. January rains arrested crop deterioration, improved pastures, and stimulated seeding of late sorghum and sunflowers. Late seed- ing may harm crops not reaching maturity before winter rains and frost. Weather has been good for apples and pears. Pastures, citrus, coffee, and most annual crops benefited from the active rainy season in central and southern Brazil. The wet weather caused some problems harvesting winter grains and seeding soybeans in Rio Grande do Sul. Crops in northeast Brazil are suffering from drought following the floods of last July.
