When the rains are expectedSeptember 2026 to July 2027
Rain in a typical yearAbout 1,628 mm in a typical farming district
Across its districtsFrom about 1,368 mm in the driest of 13 districts to about 1,748 mm in the wettest
This season's rainLeaning dry — January, February, 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 +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.

Pool's districts

What grows here

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

The crops above are gathered from every district in Pool, and the ground under them is not all the same. 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.

Or check your field first

This calendar moves

Planting windows shift with the forecast. Leave your email and we'll send what changed, and a note when planting time nears — a couple of emails a month at most.

Frequently asked questions

What crops grow well in Pool?

Banana, Cashew, Cocoa, Robusta coffee, Guava all rate well in Pool — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.

When should I plant Banana in Pool?

In Pool the window for Banana runs 15 Aug 2026 to 26 Feb 2027.

Is there a farming app that works in Pool?

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