The weekly Weather and Crop Conditions bulletin from the Department of Rural Economy (Deral), covering the period from January 20th to 26th, indicates a climatic scenario marked by intense heat, regional temperature variations, and irregular rainfall, factors that directly influenced the development of the 2025/26 crop season throughout the State.

The climate information is based on data from Simepar (Environmental Technology and Monitoring System of Paraná). Deral is linked to the State Secretariat of Agriculture and Supply (Seab). According to the report, on January 20th and 21st, the West, Southwest, and Northwest regions registered higher temperatures, while the East and South-Central regions had greater cloud cover and milder weather.
Between the 22nd and 24th, the weather remained hot and relatively stable, with sun between clouds and little rain between the Metropolitan Region of Curitiba and the coast. On the 25th, the interior maintained high temperatures, with light showers and an increased risk of forest fires, while on the 26th the strong heating favored the occurrence of typical summer rains in the afternoon.
In this scenario, the first-crop soybean shows 89% of areas in good condition, with a predominance of the fruiting and filling stages.

Grain production and the beginning of maturation are underway. According to the report, despite good development in several regions, there are significant climatic contrasts: while soil moisture supported growth in some areas, drought and high temperatures caused water stress in others, especially in lighter soils, potentially reducing yield potential. Harvesting has begun sporadically and should intensify in the coming weeks.
The first corn crop is mostly in the final stages of grain filling and maturation, with the fields showing a good overall appearance. In some regions, the cycle has been extended due to weather conditions, which has delayed the start of the harvest, but the outlook remains positive.
The planting of the second corn crop is progressing as land becomes available and soil moisture becomes better. The first bean crop is in its final stages of harvesting or has already been completed in parts of the state, with variable results and the impact of prices on producers' profitability.
Among other crops monitored by Deral, the first potato harvest is nearing completion, with good tuber quality, but is facing marketing difficulties due to ample supply on the market. Sugarcane continues its vegetative development, while cassava harvesting continues, driven by the return of processing plants, despite prices considered low.
Fruit farming is showing active harvesting and satisfactory quality, and pastures continue to have a good volume of green mass, reflecting the favorable temperature and humidity conditions observed during the period.
