The 2025 season in Woleu

When the rains are expectedJanuary 2025 to December 2025
Rain in a typical yearAbout 1,645 mm
This season's rainLeaning 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 heatHotter 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 supportsenough rain for a long crop, or two in a year, warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season
Ground this coversOne kind of ground throughout.

Plan the season, not just check it

Frequently asked questions

What crops grow well in Woleu?

When should I plant African eggplant in Woleu?

In Woleu the window for African eggplant runs 1 Jan 2026 to 28 Oct 2026.

Is there a farming app that works in Woleu?

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