# El Niño / La Niña Update - February 2022

> The WMO's February 2022 update says the La Niña that developed in late 2021 remains active in the tropical Pacific but is showing signs of weakening. Forecasts give about a 65% chance La Niña persists through March-May 2022, with ENSO-neutral the most likely state from April-June onward.

## Why it matters

A fading La Niña lowers the odds of drought in the US Plains and Argentina/southern Brazil, which supports crop outlooks for corn, soybeans and wheat; the outlook is mildly bearish for weather premium.
