We report daily the number of days rain is expected in the ten day forecast for Rondonópolis, which normally receives sporadic showers 10 to 14 days before the rainy season begins. Rondonópolis has yet to have any rain predicted in its ten day forecast and no rain has fallen since mid-April.
While we expect Brazil’s rainy season will arrive within the next three weeks because it usually arrives by the first week of October, but if you are not checking every day the rain days for the Brazilian locations on our chart, you do not understand the importance of timely planting for Brazil’s double crop areas.
