A major heatwave is expected to hit Argentina's agricultural region, adding pressure to adverse conditions that its corn and soybean crops were already facing.

Argentina is the world's second-largest corn exporter after the United States, as well as the main global supplier of soybean oil and flour. A large portion of Argentina has been experiencing dry conditions since mid-December, temperatures soaring with the arrival of summer.

EDIT

Temperatures are expected to reach 104 degrees Fahrenheit, prompting the exchange's head agronomist to warn of cutting harvest estimates. The center of Argentina will become the hottest region in the world for several hours, the Buenos Aires Times reported.

In the next few days, "a prolonged and intense heatwave will begin, which will affect most of the agricultural area. Rainfall will remain low to zero in most of the agricultural area," the Buenos Aires Grains Exchange reported in its weekly agroclimatic report.

1. Just to exercise your brain change C to F

Double - the C°

40 = 80

Subtract 10% of that answer

80 - 8 = 72

Add 32 to that answer

72 + 32 = 104

The answer will be exact or within 1° of exact.

Always works.
