LIMA (Commodity Online): The soybean, corn production in peru is under the shadow of La Niña weather events as it would negatively alter rainfall and temperature patterns of the region, it would be similar to what occurred during summer 2011.
In 2011, spring started out cool and wet in Indiana, with planting delays occurring during April and May and during summer, the region experienced drought conditions and a lot of heat stress were the crops performance came down considerabily.
“The dry-weather bias across the Midwest from August through September last year was, in part, a function of La Niña and La Niña wasn’t solely responsible for the drought in Indiana and Illinois during early summer last year. However, late in summer, during August and September, La Niña reasserted itself and the drought in Indiana and Illinois spread to other, immediately neighboring states.”said Drew Lerner, meteorologist and owner, World Weather Inc, reported cornandsoybeandigest.com
According to Lerner, Frequent rains from Texas into the Midwest (like we’ve seen in December) this winter and spring would help reduce the potential for a worst case of La Niña-induced dryness this summer and Easing the dryness in Texas would also help reduce the potential for a significant high pressure ridge to build up in late spring and summer.
"If the prevailing weather pattern is wet, La Niña will have a positive impact by taking the excess moisture out of the pattern and provide timely rainfall. However, if the prevailing weather pattern is a dry one, La Niña’s influence will be to take away more moisture and the drier-biased pattern will suddenly become too dry – raising concern for crops, " commented lerner
