What grows in Ga West Municipal
Greater Accra, Ghana
The 2027 season in Ga West Municipal
| Rainy seasons | One each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it |
|---|---|
| When the rains are expected | March 2027 to November 2027 |
| Rain in a typical year | About 947 mm |
| This season's rain | Leaning dry — 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 +0.5 °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 | 4 kinds of ground. The season below is the largest that farms — about 40% of this area. |
| 40% | enough rain for a long crop, or two in a year; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 279 growing days · about 1,010 mm · February to December |
|---|---|
| 35% | enough rain for one full main crop; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 261 growing days · about 900 mm · March to November |
| 15% | enough rain for one full main crop; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 253 growing days · about 860 mm · March to November |
| 5% | enough rain for a long crop, or two in a year; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 317 growing days · about 1,090 mm · February to December |
