The IRI October climate briefing reports tropical Pacific sea-surface temperatures in the moderate La Niña range, with all atmospheric indicators consistent with La Niña. Model runs predict moderate or possibly strong La Niña through winter with about a 90% probability.
La Niña raises the risk of drought in South America and the US Plains, which can cut soybean and corn yields and support grain prices into the winter.
