A strong influx of polar winds is forecast to bring a week of freezing temperatures to all agricultural regions of the country. A storm front will accompany the cold snap, resulting in precipitation across farmland. The extent of rainfall will be unevenly distributed, with some areas experiencing significantly more than others. While the cold will be widespread, the specific amount of precipitation remains uncertain. Authorities are advising farmers to take precautions to protect crops and livestock from the extreme weather. Moderate temperatures are not expected to return for at least a week, according to current forecasts. The impact on agricultural yields remains to be seen.
