Rice and corn grain filling will be affected, southwestern China to see low temperatures and scant sunshine over the next ten days
Since late July, most of southwestern China has had many rainy days, with sunshine hours in Yunnan and Guizhou 30% to 80% below the same period in normal years; temperatures have been low, with Yunnan's average temperature at 21.1°C, the lowest since 1990. Single-season rice in southwestern China is at the critical stage of heading and flowering and grain filling, while summer corn is at the tasseling to grain-filling stage.
