The 2026 season in Asene Akroso Manso
| When the rains are expected | February 2026 to December 2026 |
|---|---|
| Rain in a typical year | About 1,412 mm |
| This season's rain | Leaning dry — February, September and October 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. |

| Ground this covers | 2 kinds of ground. The season below is the largest that farms — about 86% of this area. |
