# Brazil, Argentina Crop Weather Update

> Scattered storms in central Brazil over the prior week came too late to help most of the soybean crop, which is largely harvested. Hot, dry weather stressed pod-filling soybeans in southern Brazil, particularly Rio Grande do Sul, while Argentina's weather favored crops. Sea-surface temperatures in the eastern Pacific remained at El Niño levels in January.
