MOSCOW (Reuters) - Temperatures will be higher than usual in Russia during November, Russia's state forecaster said on Thursday, putting pressure on the winter grains crop.
Weather patterns remain the core factor for the Black Sea region countries - Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan - which normally produce about 10 percent of the world's wheat but whose grain harvest is expected to drop this year by 27 percent after drought.
All key grain regions, including Russia's South, Urals, Siberia and Volga, will see temperatures above normal levels in November, a map produced by the State Hydrometeorology Agency showed.
