What grows in Grand-Lahou
Grands Ponts, Côte d'Ivoire
The 2027 season in Grand-Lahou
| When the rains are expected | February 2027 to December 2027 |
|---|---|
| Rain in a typical year | About 1,242 mm |
| This season's rain | Leaning dry — September, October and November 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 heat | Hotter than usual — about +1.1 °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 supports | enough rain for a long crop, or two in a year, warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season |
| Ground this covers | 3 kinds of ground. The season below is the largest that farms — about 58% of this area. |
| 58% | enough rain for a long crop, or two in a year; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 301 growing days · about 1,310 mm · February to December |
|---|---|
| 37% | enough rain for a long crop, or two in a year; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 291 growing days · about 1,410 mm · February to December |
| 4% | enough rain for a long crop, or two in a year; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 288 growing days · about 1,420 mm · February to December |

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 and dates above are read at cells spread across Grand-Lahou, 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.
