The 2026/27 season in Bukeye

When the rains are expectedAugust 2026 to July 2027
Rain in a typical yearAbout 1,240 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.

Is there a farming app that works in Bukeye?

Is this exact for my own field?

No — these are readings taken across Bukeye, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
