The 2026/27 season in Lekoni-Lekori
| When the rains are expected | August 2026 to July 2027 |
|---|---|
| Rain in a typical year | About 1,663 mm |
| This season's rain | Leaning dry — 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 heat | Hotter 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. |
| 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 | 2 kinds of ground. The season below is the largest that farms — about 92% of this area. |

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.
What Divisi would not plant in Lekoni-Lekori

- Chickpea Unsuitable — Temperature
- Enset Unsuitable — Temperature

Plan the season, not just check it
The crops and dates above are read at cells spread across Lekoni-Lekori, 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 Lekoni-Lekori?
Bambara groundnut, Banana, Carrot, Cashew, Cocoa all rate well in Lekoni-Lekori — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant Bambara groundnut in Lekoni-Lekori?
In Lekoni-Lekori the window for Bambara groundnut runs 5 Aug 2026 to 17 Mar 2027.
Is there a farming app that works in Lekoni-Lekori?
Divisi does. It reads Lekoni-Lekori'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 Lekoni-Lekori, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
