This study analyzed the impact of drought and high temperatures on *Coffea canephora* plantations in Espírito Santo, Brazil (2010-2016). Data on rainfall, temperature, production, yield, and planted area were analyzed. The 2015/2016 season was most affected, showing a 40% rainfall decrease and a 41% production drop compared to the mean. Increased air temperature negatively impacted production more than decreased precipitation. The study identified critical periods of the crop cycle most vulnerable to water stress and used Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) to detect droughts. Agroforestry systems and small reservoirs were suggested as mitigation strategies.
