What grows in Ogooue-Letili
Haut-Ogooue, Gabon
The 2026/27 season in Ogooue-Letili
| When the rains are expected | August 2026 to July 2027 |
|---|---|
| Rain in a typical year | About 1,763 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 +1.0 °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 | One kind of ground throughout. |
