Default Unusual potatoe crop

This years crop is pretty poor, very few large or even reasonable sized
potatoes mostly small, though a far larger number that usual, I assume
this is due to the adverse weather conditions. However what puzzles me
is that there are a very large number of conjoined potatoes, quite a
number of which have split apart during harvesting. so 2 questions for
the panel.
Is the weather to blame for this, if not what id the cause?
As on splitting there is no skin where they were joined will there be
problems with storage?
