What grows in Tizi Ouzou
Algeria
The 2026/27 season in Tizi Ouzou
| When the rains are expected | September 2026 to May 2027 |
|---|---|
| Rain in a typical year | About 932 mm in a typical farming district |
| Across its districts | From about 756 mm in the driest of 67 districts to about 1,121 mm in the wettest |
| 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 | 4 kinds of ground. The season below is one typical farming district's, not a figure for the whole of this area. |
