The 2026 season in Noun

Rainy seasonsOne each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it
When the rains are expectedMarch 2026 to December 2026
Rain in a typical yearAbout 1,736 mm
This season's rainLeaning dry — September and October 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 +0.9 °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.

These need water applied — rain alone will not carry them here. The dates are the windows their own water supply allows.

What Divisi would not plant in Noun

Every crop in the catalogue is scored against this district, not only the ones that work — so the list above is a decision rather than a shortlist. These are the rest, with what ruled each one out.

  • Enset Only in patches — clears in part of this area, not across any one zone
  • Teff Moderate — Water
  • Cabbage Unsuitable — Temperature
  • Chickpea Unsuitable — Temperature
  • Garlic Unsuitable — Temperature

Divisi scored 74 crops against this district's own ground; 5 came back without a sowing date.

Plan the season, not just check it

The crops and dates above are read at cells spread across Noun, and the map colours which kind of ground each part of it is. Your own soil, slope and rainfall will shift the dates — the Divisi app works them out for your field, and dates each job that follows.

Frequently asked questions

What crops grow well in Noun?

Cashew, Cucumber, Jute mallow, African eggplant, African nightshade all rate well in Noun — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.

When should I plant Cashew in Noun?

In Noun the window for Cashew runs 1 Mar 2026 to 8 Oct 2026.

Is there a farming app that works in Noun?

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