The 2026/27 season in Cambulo

Rainy seasonsOne each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it
When the rains are expectedSeptember 2026 to May 2027
Rain in a typical yearAbout 1,274 mm
This season's rainLeaning wet — January, February, October, November and December look heavier than usual. Make sure water can drain off the field; a wet year does more damage through waterlogging and disease than through the rain itself.
This season's heatHotter 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.

In Cambulo the window for African eggplant runs 5 Sep 2026 to 20 Feb 2027.

Is there a farming app that works in Cambulo?

Divisi does. It reads Cambulo'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 Cambulo, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
