Winter crops in Canada are sowed in September-October, with almost all crops growing in the southern parts of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. Over the monitoring period, all crops have been harvested completely and are currently waiting to be sowed in the coming crop season. The maximum VCI, NDVI, and biomass have little meaning in this period due to the absence of crops. In comparison with the recent twelve-year average for the same period, rainfall tends to increase (+7 percent) and temperature was slightly below normal. As almost croplands in Canada are rainfed,the abundant rainfall in this period would create wet conditions for the coming crop growing season; the lower temperature could also decrease the risk of insect pest.
