2008Aug20: Peruvian coffee growers say that rising temperatures and erratic weather patterns are changing historic trends in the coffee growing season. “The seasons are changing tremendously. You can no longer say winter is in November, December or March. It falls in other months sometimes,” said Cesar Rivas, president of the Peruvian coffeee growers’ group (UK Guardian, 2008).
