The 2026 season in Guji

Rainy seasonsTwo each year — two chances to plant
When the rains are expectedJuly 2026 to December 2026
Rain in a typical yearAbout 935 mm
This season's rainLeaning wet — October, November and December look heavier than usual. Make sure water can drain off the field; a wet year does more damage through waterlogging and disease than through the rain itself.
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.

Plan the season, not just check it

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