When the rains are expectedFebruary 2026 to December 2026
Rain in a typical yearAbout 2,345 mm
This season's rainLeaning dry — September, October, November and December look short of rain. Plant at the early end of the window, favour quicker and more drought-tolerant crops, and keep moisture in the soil: mulch, and weed early.
This season's heatHotter than usual — about +0.8 °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.

Plan the season, not just check it

Frequently asked questions

What crops grow well in Lebialem?

Cashew, Banana, Guava, Lemon, Lime all rate well in Lebialem — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.

When should I plant Cashew in Lebialem?

In Lebialem the window for Cashew runs 23 Feb 2026 to 21 Oct 2026.

Is there a farming app that works in Lebialem?

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