This market resolves based on the highest monthly S2+ drought area percentage recorded for the state of Minas Gerais across the 2026/27 coffee growing season. For the purpose of this market, the "2026/27 coffee growing season" is defined as the six-month window (September 2026 through February 2027) which corresponds to the flowering and bean-development period for arabica coffee in Minas Gerais. This is the crop-development period for the coffee harvested in 2027, and is distinct from the 2026 harvest (typically May–September 2026) and the subsequent shipping and marketing period for that crop. This label is descriptive only; resolution depends solely on the calendar months stated above. For each month in the window, the S2+ drought area percentage is the percentage of the total area of the state of Minas Gerais classified at S2 (Seca Grave) or a more severe category. This is the value shown in the "S2–S4" column of ANA's "Área Acumulada" (accumulated area) tabular view for Minas Gerais, in the official tabular data published by the Agência Nacional de Águas e Saneamento Básico (ANA). The "peak" is the single highest monthly S2+ drought area percentage across the six months as published by ANA. This market will resolve once ANA has published an S2–S4 "Área Acumulada" figure for Minas Gerais for all six reference months, or at 11:59 PM ET on April 29, 2027 (60 calendar days after the end of February 2027), whichever occurs first. The resolving value is the highest monthly S2–S4 "Área Acumulada" figure among the reference months for which ANA has published data as of that time, using each month's figure as published by ANA as of that time, inclusive of any revisions ANA has published by then. If ANA has published data for none of the six reference months as of 11:59 PM ET on April 29, 2027, this market will resolve to "Under 5%". The resolution source for this market will be data published by the Agência Nacional de Águas e Saneamento Básico (ANA), found at https://monitordesecas.ana.gov.br/dados-tabulares?tipo=1&area=31.**Strengthening El Niño conditions represent the dominant driver of trader sentiment for peak severe drought levels in Minas Gerais coffee regions.** As of early September 2026, Pacific sea surface temperatures have reached strong to very strong thresholds, with multi-model forecasts pointing to further intensification through late 2026 into early 2027. This phase typically disrupts the regular onset of rains in southeast Brazil, increasing the probability of extended dry spells during the critical flowering window (September–December) and subsequent fruit-fill period. Recent soil moisture gains from unseasonal May–June rains have eased immediate stress and supported vegetative recovery, yet model consensus highlights elevated risks of irregular precipitation patterns and above-average temperatures that could push drought indices into severe categories. Historical analogs from prior strong El Niño events, including 2015/16, show pronounced impacts on Arabica yields in Minas Gerais when dry conditions coincide with these phenological stages. Resolution hinges on upcoming seasonal forecast updates from agencies tracking Niño 3.4 anomalies and regional precipitation outlooks through October.
