Warmer, Mostly Dry Outlook for Southern Brazil, Argentina

Some rains fell on southern Brazil over the weekend, but they weren’t enough to stop net drying in the region. The situation was similar in northern Argentina. Periodic rains will occur across cropping areas of both countries this week but conditions are expected to be seasonably warm and mostly dry. World Weather Inc. says, “South America weather will continue to follow La Nina traditions with Argentina and southern Brazil getting less-than-usual rainfall, but enough to hold together crop development. This trend will continue for the next couple of weeks, but rainfall will be lighter than usual and temperatures slightly warmer biased.”
