The 2026 season in Mbéré

Rainy seasonsOne each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it
When the rains are expectedMarch 2026 to November 2026
Rain in a typical yearAbout 1,325 mm
This season's rainLeaning wet — October and November 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 +1.0 °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 supportsenough rain for one full main crop, warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season
Ground this coversOne kind of ground throughout.

Plan the season, not just check it

Is this exact for my own field?

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