The 2027 season in Sirba

Rainy seasons	One each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it
When the rains are expected	June 2027 to October 2027
Rain in a typical year	About 501 mm in a typical farming district
Across its districts	From about 501 mm in the driest of 2 districts to about 558 mm in the wettest
This season's rain	Rain close to usual — plan around about 501 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 all year, so nothing but rain ends the season
Ground this covers	One kind of ground throughout.
