When the rains are expectedFebruary 2026 to December 2026
Rain in a typical yearAbout 1,401 mm
This season's rainLeaning 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 heatHotter 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.

Is there a farming app that works in Atiwa West?

Is this exact for my own field?

No — these are readings taken across Atiwa West, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
