The IRI November 2025 Quick Look puts La Niña at 67% probability for November–January, easing to 53% for December–February. Neutral conditions are expected to become dominant from early 2026, with El Niño odds rising to 35% by July–September 2026.
The shift from La Niña toward neutral and possible El Niño later in 2026 lowers the odds of drought in South America and raises the risk of drought in Australia and Southeast Asia later in the year. This is a longer-term risk factor for oilseeds and palm oil.
