We start by reviewing the rainfall totals for the past week in Brazil, specifically looking at the three center-west states and the two southern states, Paraná and Rio Grande do Sul. It's important to note that there have been no significant changes in the south or the center-west regions that would impact our previous discussions on weather conditions.
The crux of our conversation shifts to the upcoming forecast for the next couple of weeks, which shows a marked improvement in weather conditions. This is particularly timely as we enter the reproductive phase of crop development, a critical period for yield determination.
Drawing parallels to the weather patterns observed in the United States from mid-June to early July, we explore the implications of the forecast if it holds true.
