By Drew Lerner

Kansas City, August 31 (World Weather, Inc.) – A few showers and thunderstormsoccurred Friday into the weekend from central Minas Gerais to eastern Bahia, but very few coffee areas received significant moisture. The next ten days will be dry or mostly dry and temperatures will be seasonable.

BRAZIL

Not much precipitation fell in coffee areas of Brazil Friday into Sunday. A few showers and thunderstorms occurred from central Minas Gerais to Bahia coastal areas with rainfall of 1 to 21 millimeters resulting most often. One location in central Minas Gerais reported 23 millimeters, but that was not near major coffee production areas. Highest temperatures Friday through Sunday were in the upper 20s and lower 30s Celsius most often with a few readings in the middle 30s in far northern Sao Paulo and from northern Minas Gerais to central Bahia. In contrast, a central Minas Gerais location reported highs no warmer than 23. Lowest morning temperatures were 12 to 18 most often with a few readings in the lower 20s north. No more than coastal showers will occur in coffee production areas this week. Daily amounts will range from 1 to 8 millimeters most often with a few local totals to 14 possible on an infrequent basis. The earliest that rain might increase across the region would be early next week, but the atmosphere appears rather stable and unlikely to support much rain of significance for the next ten days. Sunday and Monday would be the earliest that rain might fall in Parana

and Sao Paulo, but early indications suggest no more than 13 millimeters and most of theprecipitation will be too light and erratic to bring on any threat of flowering. Daily temperatures will continue warm with highs in the upper 20s and lower to middle 30s likely most days. Lowest temperatures at night will cool to the range of middleteens to lower 20s.
