The 2027 season in Guraghe

Rainy seasonsOne each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it
When the rains are expectedMarch 2027 to October 2027
Rain in a typical yearAbout 1,191 mm
This season's rainLeaning dry — September looks 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 +1.4 °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 Divisi would not plant in Guraghe

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.

  • Taro Only in patches — clears in part of this area, not across any one zone
  • Sugarcane Moderate
  • Coconut Unsuitable — Temperature

Divisi scored 74 crops against this district's own ground; 3 came back without a sowing date.

Plan the season, not just check it

The crops and dates above are read at cells spread across Guraghe, 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.

Is there a farming app that works in Guraghe?

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