According to her, rains will stop even in those regions where weather conditions have so far remained favorable for farmers.

“Starting next week, the rains will stop, and accordingly, we will have a precipitation deficit not only in the southern regions, but also throughout the rest of the territory, although now the western and northern regions, according to our colleagues-agrometeorologists, maintain quite favorable conditions in the agricultural sector for the western and northern regions. In the rest, there is already a certain deficit,”

The forecaster clarified that June's weather conditions – in particular, temperature and precipitation – were generally acceptable for agriculture. However, the situation will change in July.

“But next week, since there will be no precipitation, the deficit will be everywhere. Because such a regime as was in June is fundamentally favorable for the agricultural sector. If we talk about temperatures and precipitation,”
