The 2026/27 season in Ogooue-Maritime
| When the rains are expected | August 2026 to July 2027 |
|---|---|
| Rain in a typical year | About 1,952 mm in a typical farming district |
| Across its districts | From about 1,856 mm in the driest of 3 districts to about 2,163 mm in the wettest |
| This season's rain | Leaning dry — January, February, 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 +0.8 °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 one typical farming district's, not a figure for the whole of this area. |

Is there a farming app that works in Ogooue-Maritime?
Divisi does. It reads Ogooue-Maritime'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 Ogooue-Maritime, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
