I haven't seen anyone mention the drought in Brazil. It's possible that deforestation in the Amazon is at least partially responsible for that[1]: Some scientists have suggested that the recent uptick in deforestation in Brazil may be partly responsible for the drought, since loss of evapotranspiration from trees is known to reduce cloud formation. I know its the other hemisphere, but it's certainly possible that drought, deforestation, and changing weather patterns in South America would also affect us. Yes, no? I'm just spitballing here.
