Prolonged summer drought and a lack of early-autumn rain damaged crop prospects across much of Europe, with yields in some regions projected to be 20–35% below the five-year average. Drought delayed autumn sowing in parts of central and southern Europe, while excessive rain disrupted fieldwork in the north; October rainfall improved prospects in some areas, but crop conditions remain uneven.
Lower yields and uneven establishment could constrain European cereal supply and support prices, while October rain offers some relief to the developing crop outlook.
