Highlight: Cold risk to Southeast Brazil 11-15 days out; West Africa Coca continues wet pattern.

Discussion: The 11-15-day temperature anomaly forecasts by ECM and AI GFS indicate significant cold risk in Argentina to southwest and southeast Brazil (Fig. 1-2). Each model indicates the core of the cold is slightly different regions. In each scenario, the southern coffee growing areas of Brazil are very close to the <32F risk zone as indicated by ECM ENS (Fig. 3). Other forecast models are cool but not as cold.

The Tropical West Africa cocoa-growing areas continue to undergo heavy to extreme wet weather. The CMC ENS 15-day outlook emphasizes more rain on the way, some excessive (Fig. 4) with no let-up in the 16-30-day period according to ECM “weeklies” (Fig. 5).
