Center-West, Center-South Brazil To Remain Drier Biased

Kansas City, September 19 (World Weather Inc.) – Early-season planting is underway in portions of Brazil, generally in the south where rain has occurred in recent weeks. Center-west and center-south Brazil otherwise remain too dry to plant early season soybeans, first-season corn, and other crops. Dry or mostly dry weather will persist for much of center-west and center-south Brazil through the middle of next week. There is potential for some spotty rain late this month and in early October, which may support planting in a few locations. Southern Brazil will otherwise see a good mix of rain and sunshine during the next two weeks favoring wheat and early season corn development, but slowing the harvest of wheat in Parana and neighboring areas.

La Nina Is No Scapegoat For Anomalous World Weather

Kansas City, September 18 (World Weather Inc.) – The news media has recently been swamped by articles about La Nina and how it has impacted world weather. The articles are all quite entertaining and sometimes downright alarming, but the truth about world weather today is that La Nina does not exist. La Nina events require anomalously cool ocean surface water across the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean to change world weather patterns and the anomalies are certainly not there – at least not today. Computer forecast modeling is not in agreement over the future for ENSO (El Nino Southern Oscillation) events with the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) suggesting La Nina is imminent while the Australian Bureau of Meteorology and the New Zealand weather service suggest La Nina may not be coming.

Maharashtra Rainfall To Resume after Recent Drying

Kansas City, September 18 (World Weather Inc.) – Rainfall was highly variable across the Indian subcontinent during the past week with the passage of two monsoonal disturbances. The greatest amount of rain was noted from West Bengal, Bangladesh, and neighboring locations into Uttar Pradesh, northern Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, and eastern Haryana. Localized flooding was possible in the wettest locations, potentially damaging a minor amount of crop. Other locations were drier biased with many areas in southern India, Telangana, and neighboring locations trending mostly dry. Maharashtra is expecting to see significant rain resume soon which should help bring relief to recent drying. Yield potentials as a whole in most of India remain favorable due to timely monsoonal rain. A bumper soybean crop is possible while yields are potentially trending near or above normal for several other grains, oilseeds, and pulses.
