Should we be getting agitated about the possible prolongation of La Niña weather? Yes and no. Yes, because the abnormal weather patterns that follow La Niñas are highly disruptive to a wide range of crop production. No, because the La Niña impacts this time round may be weaker, although strong enough to change the balance between surplus and deficit for some crops. Headlines along the lines of ‘La Niña is back’ are, however, misleading – it never entirely went away. ... Even if this La Niña turns out to be somewhat weaker in the (possibly) two years of its remaining life, it could have some pretty dramatic consequences for crops. In very simple terms, the severe intensity of the La Niña so far has left certain large regions of the world in a poor state to combat very much more in the way of weather extremities. worldcrops.com
