Brazilian Supply Company (Conab) has warned of the risks of frost that may affect crops, with temperatures dropping to freezing levels, from Rio Grande do Sul to São Paulo. Bad weather conditions may mostly impact the growth of the second corn crop and the wheat crop at more advanced stages. Besides low temperatures, the forecast for the South region points to a drier climate. The lack of rainfall in Parana is likely to strike the grain filling, bringing negative effects to the 2nd corn crop and the wheat crop, as humidity is low. In Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul, however, the lack of rainfall may not bring major impacts, since soil water storage remains at appropriate levels. There is no forecast until now for rain coming in the South, Southeast, North, and Northeast regions of Brazil.
