The 2026/27 season in Muha

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 858 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.

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.

Plan the season, not just check it

Frequently asked questions

What crops grow well in Muha?

Bambara groundnut, Cashew, Cassava, Cotton, Egusi melon all rate well in Muha — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.

When should I plant Bambara groundnut in Muha?

In Muha the window for Bambara groundnut runs 14 Sep 2026 to 11 Feb 2027.

Is there a farming app that works in Muha?

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