# Wet Season Starting, But Very Slowly for Central Brazil

> The DTN long-range European ECMWF model shows wet season rains arriving in central Brazil later than previously forecast. Less than 30 mm is expected through Oct. 11, and most areas have had no meaningful rain for four to five months. Producers are waiting for at least 50 mm before planting first-crop soybeans.

## Why it matters

A delayed wet season postpones Brazilian soybean planting and pushes harvest later, tightening near-term export availability and supporting soybean prices.
