During the monitoring period, as one of the major crop in Egypt, wheat had been harvested in early June; the other two major crops, maize and rice, however, are still growing in field. Overall, crop condition was significantly below average from  April to early June but close to average since late June. 

        监测期内，作为物埃及的主要作物之一，小麦在6月上旬已完成收获；但另外两种主要作物—玉米和水稻仍处于生长季。总体上，作物长势在4月至6月上旬显著低于近5年平均水平但之后逐渐转好并于6月底接近平均水平。

The CropWatch agroclimatic indicators show that rainfall was well above average (+71%), with about average temperature (+0.5 degree C) and RADPAR (+1%). The rainfed BIOMSS, hence, increased by 26% compared to average. According to the spatial pattern map of maximum VCI, the values of this indicator were between 0.8 and 1.0 in most cropped area of Egypt, with lower values below than 0.5 only occurring in small regions along the river and in the western and south-eastern  Delta. The spatial pattern and NDVI departure profiles show that  crop condition was about average throughout the country except in 38% of the areas, mainly in the Delta, where the NDVI was below average by as much as 0.1 at the end of the cycle of wheat. Conditions improved in July when all crops were about average. As the cropped arable land fraction decreased by 9% compared with average, the crop yields in Egypt are estimated to be below average. 

        CropWatch农气监测指标显示，降水（+71%）显著高于过去15年平均水平而温度和光合有效辐射接近平均水平，导致潜在生物量较平均水平偏高26%。由最佳植被状况指数空间分布图可知，埃及大部分作物种植区该指数的值介于0.8至1.0之间，仅一些小区域的值低于0.5，包括尼罗河流域、尼罗河三角洲西部和东南部的部分区域。NDVI距平聚类空间分布及相应的类别过程线显示，埃及大部分区域的作物长势处于近5年平均水平，但该国38%的作物NDVI值在小麦生长末期较平均水平偏低0.1，主要集中于三角洲地区。可喜的是，该地区作物长势至7月逐渐好转至接近平均水平。由于耕地种植比例较近5年平均水平偏低9%，CropWatch预计埃及作物产量将低于平均水平。
