Above-average temperatures and irregular rainfall are raising crop water demand in Brazil’s Matopiba soybean region at the start of the 2026/27 season. In several locations, temperatures were more than 2°C above normal, with anomalies as high as 3.6°C in Bahia; the conditions coincide with a strengthening El Niño.
