The 2026/27 season in Tebessa
| Rainy seasons | One each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it |
|---|---|
| When the rains are expected | October 2026 to March 2027 |
| Rain in a typical year | About 346 mm in a typical farming district |
| Across its districts | From about 120 mm in the driest of 28 districts to about 416 mm in the wettest |
| This season's rain | Rain close to usual — plan around about 346 mm falling roughly when it always does |
| This season's heat | Hotter than usual — about +1.5 °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 short crop, and only if timed to it, warm, with a cool spell that slows winter growth |
| Ground this covers | 4 kinds of ground. The season below is one typical farming district's, not a figure for the whole of this area. |
| 58% | enough rain for one short crop, and only if timed to it; warm, with a cool spell that slows winter growth no rain-fed season · about 210 mm |

| 3% | enough rain for one short crop, and only if timed to it; cool for part of the year, so frost sets the planting date 152 growing days · about 400 mm · October to April |

Plan the season, not just check it
The crops above are gathered from every district in Tebessa, and the ground under them is not all the same. Your own soil, slope and rainfall will shift the dates — the Divisi app works them out for your field, and dates each job that follows.

Planting windows shift with the forecast. Leave your email and we'll send what changed, and a note when planting time nears — a couple of emails a month at most.

Is there a farming app that works in Tebessa?
Divisi does. It reads Tebessa'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.
Is this exact for my own field?
No — these are readings taken across Tebessa, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
