It appears, that forecasts will be fulfilled, because very hot and dry January 2022 is in Argentina and in a large region of southern South America, predicted.
Meanwhile, above central and northern parts of the continent, an anomalously strong rain season is ongoing and still expected.
In Argentina and La Plata region, the next wildfires, but too regional extreme T-storms are in the next weeks possible, therefore stay safe and informed.
