Brazil Coffee Weather

Warm, Dry Next Ten Days

Kansas City, September 17 (World Weather, Inc.) – No rain and warm weather occurred in Brazil coffee production areas Wednesday and similar conditions were expected through September 27. Rain will be needed late this month or in early October to assure the best conditions for pollination in southern production areas where flowering is now under way.

BRAZIL

Warm temperatures and no rain fell in Brazil coffee production areas Wednesday and similar conditions were expected for much of the coming ten days. Highs were mostly in the upper 20s and lower to middle 30s Celsius. The warmest temperatures occurred in northern Sao Paulo and central Bahia where extremes reached 36.

The earliest that rain will return to southern coffee areas will be September 27 – a full ten days from now – and even then the expected rainfall may be light. Some showers will return to areas from northern Parana to Sul de Minas and Rio de Janeiro in the last days of September and early days of October – just in time to support pollination after recent flowering began. It will be imperative that rain returns at that time to protect production potentials.

Temperatures will not change greatly during the next ten days with daily highs in the middle 20s through the middle 30s Celsius most often. A few highs in the upper 30s are expected periodically in northern Sao Paulo and from northern and western Minas Gerais into central Bahia. Lowest morning temperatures will be in the teens and lower 20s with a few readings in the interior south of 11 or 12.
