Maybe you should check your India rainfall sources...

September temperature/rainfall rankings; warmest on record for the Nation #corn #soybeans #oatt

Getting mighty wet in the Corn Belt between Des Moines and Omaha...8.6" over the past week at Des Moines with radar estimating localized amounts of more than a foot this month #oatt #corn #soybeans

Abnormal summer warmth was entirely tied to lows...highs averaged 0.4°F above normal while lows averaged 2.7°F above-normal (tied with 2002/2016 as the 3rd warmest ever; behind only 2010 and 2011)...not since 2009 have summer overnight lows averaged below normal in the Corn Belt

Corn Belt rainfall in August was 0.92" above normal; wettest since 2018. Corn Belt summer rainfall ran 1.87" above-normal; compares with 2.90" above-normal for the summer of 2025 #corn #soybeans #oatt

Corn Belt August temps averaged 1.3°F above-normal; warmest since 2021. Summer (June-August) Corn Belt temps averaged 1.5°F above-normal; warmest since 2022 (tied). Summer of 2026 was the 9th consecutive year with above-normal summer temps in the Corn Belt #corn #soybeans #oatt

Overnight lows today showed sub-70 readings for the first time since August 8 for a lot of the southwestern #corn belt (places like Des Moines, Omaha, Lincoln, Kansas City, Topeka)...low temperatures in that period among the 10 warmest on record...warmest ever in parts of MO

For the Nation as a whole...July was the hottest on record (beating out 1936)
