Highs of 86 to 93 degrees were common in the heart of the corn and soybean belt of Argentina yesterday, but we will take those readings a notch warmer today and it is going to stay quite warm there through most of next week. For today through at least next Friday, look for highs on a daily basis of 90 to 95 degrees throughout their main corn and soybean growing areas, with some places reaching the upper 90s on a few days in that period. Extreme southwestern parts of their growing area (the state of La Pampa especially) will likely see some days when highs are able to top the 100 degree mark. There may be some showers in southern parts of the state of Buenos Aires this weekend, but other than that it should be dry across Argentina’s main growing areas through at least early on January 29. The corn and soybean crops should be able to go fairly deep into this hot/dry spell without much problem, given that soil moisture levels are quite good after a wet December and rainfall for the first three weeks of January that averaged above normal in the bulk of their growing area.
Rainfall will obviously be needed eventually though, and it does look like we will start to see some rain chances develop for around the January 30 time frame (give or take a day) and possibly extend into the opening few days of February. In Brazil, it turned dry yesterday in Rio Grande do Sul, and that is certainly a welcome sight for crops in that state as it was very wet there from last weekend through much of Tuesday. Two locations that I track in that state have received just under 16 inches of rain this month, or nearly five times the normal amount. It looks like this dry weather in Rio Grande do Sul will last into early next week before rain again starts to fall in the 6-10 day time frame. Particularly big rains had not fallen as of late (at least through yesterday morning) further north in Brazil across Mato Grosso, Goias, Minas Gerais, and Bahia; maybe not such a bad thing as some crop is being harvested there. We did see an increase in rainfall yesterday across especially central and western Mato Grosso, and the above-mentioned areas will be the focus for some big rains from now through at least the middle parts of next week.
