What grows in Bundas (Lumbala-Nguimbo)
Moxico, Angola
The 2026/27 season in Bundas (Lumbala-Nguimbo)
| Rainy seasons | One each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it |
|---|---|
| When the rains are expected | October 2026 to May 2027 |
| Rain in a typical year | About 1,060 mm |
| This season's rain | Rain close to usual — plan around about 1,060 mm falling roughly when it always does |
| This season's heat | Hotter than usual — about +1.3 °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 all year, so nothing but rain ends the season |
| Ground this covers | 2 kinds of ground. The season below is the largest that farms — about 77% of this area. |
| 77% | enough rain for one full main crop; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 216 growing days · about 1,000 mm · October to May |
|---|---|
| 20% | enough rain for one short crop, and only if timed to it; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 176 growing days · about 880 mm · October to April |

Rain-fed. These dates are worked out from each place's own rainfall, for a field watered by the season — with irrigation a window can open earlier, close later, or come round more than once a year. Check your own field under What grows, or get the Divisi app for a calendar dated to your farm.
What grows in Bundas (Lumbala-Nguimbo) with irrigation
These need water applied — rain alone will not carry them here. The dates are the windows their own water supply allows.
