After recent rains in the western part of Vitebsk region and some areas of Grodno region, overmoistening of 10 cm topsoil is observed. In the coming days under the influence of warm weather, mainly without precipitations, topsoil of overmoistened soil will dry thereby increasing the terms of winter cereal crops sowing. Weather will be well favourable for potato, maize for silage and grain harvesting, fodder conservation and rise of flax straw. Expected short-term rains at the beginning of next week could complicate harvest works mainly in northern part of the country.

Deficit of precipitation and soil moisture is observed in the south-eastern part of Belarus, topsoil is poor moistened in many areas, at certain sites – completely dry. Conditions for winter cereal crops sowing, winter rape development are unfavourable here. Moisture deficit could remain because of uneven distribution of expected precipitations. In many areas of south-eastern part of the country.
