Why these windows matter

Coffee yields are determined disproportionately during a small number of weather-sensitive windows. Across the 14 production regions tracked here, 13 windows show outsized sensitivity to rainfall, temperature, or storm damage. Buyers who track these windows can position contracts ahead of price moves driven by yield uncertainty.

The most consequential weather risks for coffee are concentrated in specific months. Brazilian frost risk (May-July) Vietnamese drought These forces drive the seasonal volatility that shows up in futures markets weeks or months later.

The calendar above is structural, not predictive — it shows where and when coffee grows under normal conditions. Weather anomalies (El Niño, La Niña, regional droughts) shift these windows by weeks and compound across regions. Atlas Tradex tracks these anomalies in its supply-risk data and surfaces them on the coffee risk surface.
