What grows in Hammam Debagh
Guelma, Algeria
The 2026/27 season in Hammam Debagh
| When the rains are expected | September 2026 to May 2027 |
|---|---|
| Rain in a typical year | About 715 mm |
| This season's rain | Leaning dry — January, February, November and December look short of rain. Plant at the early end of the window, favour quicker and more drought-tolerant crops, and keep moisture in the soil: mulch, and weed early. |
| This season's heat | Hotter than usual — about +1.1 °C over the growing months. Heat makes the same rain do less, so a dry spell bites sooner: do not plant late, and shade or mulch what you can. |
| What that supports | enough rain for one full main crop, warm, with a cool spell that slows winter growth |
| Ground this covers | One kind of ground throughout. |

What crops grow well in Hammam Debagh?

Is there a farming app that works in Hammam Debagh?
Divisi does. It reads Hammam Debagh's own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average, so the planting dates and crop shortlist on this page are the same ones the app works out for a field here — then dates each job for that field, and keeps working with no signal.

No — these are readings taken across Hammam Debagh, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
