Soybean producers are currently challenged by low soil moisture in major grain-producing areas. While heavy rain is expected in Santa Catarina and southern Paraná, and significant rainfall is forecast for central Brazil, stable weather conditions will prevail from September 19 to 23, offering some respite from fire outbreaks in certain regions. However, substantial rainfall in the central-west and southeast is not anticipated until the latter half of October. In Sapezal, high temperatures up to 39°C will continue through September with minimal rain, hindering the optimal start of soybean sowing.
