What grows in Tlemcen
Algeria
The 2026/27 season in Tlemcen
| When the rains are expected | October 2026 to April 2027 |
|---|---|
| Rain in a typical year | About 323 mm in a typical farming district |
| Across its districts | From about 323 mm in the driest of 53 districts to about 518 mm in the wettest |
| This season's rain | Rain close to usual — plan around about 323 mm falling roughly when it always does |
| This season's heat | Hotter than usual — about +1.2 °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. |
| 63% | enough rain for one short crop, and only if timed to it; warm, with a cool spell that slows winter growth 166 growing days · about 380 mm · October to April |
|---|---|
| 22% | enough rain for one full main crop; warm, with a cool spell that slows winter growth 186 growing days · about 470 mm · October to April |
| 6% | enough rain for one short crop, and only if timed to it; warm, with a cool spell that slows winter growth 163 growing days · about 360 mm · October to March |
| 4% | enough rain for one short crop, and only if timed to it; cool for part of the year, so frost sets the planting date 169 growing days · about 510 mm · October to April |

Plan the season, not just check it
The crops above are gathered from every district in Tlemcen, 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.
Frequently asked questions
What crops grow well in Tlemcen?
Beetroot, Cabbage, Swiss chard, Lettuce, Wheat all rate well in Tlemcen — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant Beetroot in Tlemcen?
In Tlemcen the window for Beetroot runs 8 Oct 2026 to 17 Nov 2026.
Is there a farming app that works in Tlemcen?
Divisi does. It reads Tlemcen'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 Tlemcen, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
