Overview
- BCR reports a regional hydrological turn with roughly 64 mm of rain in seven days, including localized peaks near 98–100 mm in Idiazábal and other nodes.
- The most severe impact zone spans center-south Santa Fe and southeast Córdoba—particularly the Armstrong–Tortugas–General Roca–Inriville corridor—with hail and intense winds.
- Soybean first-crop condition improved sharply, with the share rated regular to poor dropping from 12% to 5% and most lots now assessed as good to excellent.
- Second-crop soybean was already heavily compromised, with about 71,000 hectares lost regionally, while early maize near harvest fared better than late maize, which remains at risk without further timely rain.
- Short-term outlooks from the exchanges flag continued instability and a strong thermal swing, with cooler conditions followed by a return of hotter tropical air.
