Brazil Coffee Weather



Additional Rainfall Parana to Sul de Minas into Next Week



By Drew Lerner

Kansas City, September 10 (World Weather, Inc.) – Follow up rainfall will evolve

from Parana to Sul de Minas and Rio de Janeiro over the next couple of days after

generalized significant rain fell earlier this week. The additional moisture and scattered

showers of lighter intensity expected next week will support additional flowering.

Temperatures will be mild to cool in the rainy areas of the south and warm in Bahia and

northern Minas Gerais where rainfall is not likely to be significant anytime soon.



BRAZIL

Showers Wednesday were limited to a small region from Cerrado Mineiro into

central and southern Minas Gerais where 3 to 13 millimeters of rain resulted. Satellite

imagery suggested a few locally greater amounts of rain occurred in and near coffee areas in

northern Sul de Minas, as well. The remainder of Brazil was left mostly dry.

High temperatures Wednesday afternoon were in the range of 20 to 27 from Parana

to central Minas Gerais while upper 20s through the middle 30s occurred further north.

Extreme highs of 36-37 occurred in far northern Minas Gerais.



A new wave of significant rain is expected in Parana and Sao Paulo today and Friday

that will generate another 15 to 45 millimeters of rain with local totals to 64 millimeters.

The greatest rain will be near the common borders in the two states. The precipitation will

diminish greatly once it reaches into northeastern Sao Paulo, Sul de Minas and Rio de

Janeiro Friday into the weekend. However, daily showers will liner Monday and Tuesday

from Parana to Sul de Minas and Rio de Janeiro with a few showers expected in Zona de

Mata and Espirito Santo. Daily rain totals Sunday into Tuesday will range from 1 to 13

millimeters with local totals to 20, but late Friday and Saturday may generate some rain

totals of 15 to 35 millimeters from Rio de Janeiro into the extreme northeastern corner of

Sao Paulo.

Rain during the balance of next week and into the following weekend is expected to

be more restricted with daily showers producing a trace to 6 millimeters of rain from coastal

Bahia to Rio de Janeiro and in a few Sul de Minas and Sao Paulo locations.&nbsp;A few pockets

of greater rain will be possible.

Overall,&nbsp;rain expected during the next week to ten days will be sufficient as follow

up moisture to support flowering that began with greater rainfall earlier this week. It will

be imperative that additional rain falls late this month to assure successful pollination for

the early flowering crops.

Temperatures will remain mild in the rainy areas from Parana to Sul de Minas and

Rio de Janeiro during the coming week while seasonably warm conditions prevail from

northern Minas Gerais into Bahia. Highs most days through the weekend will range in the

20s from northern Parana to Sul de Minas with a few upper teens today and Friday. Highs

further north will be middle 20s through the lower 30s with a few middle 30s in the drier

areas of northern Minas Gerais and Bahia. Lowest morning temperatures will be in the teens

and lower 20s most often, but a few readings of 10 to 12 will occur in southern parts of the

nation through the weekend.
