Rainy seasonsOne each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it
When the rains are expectedFebruary 2027 to November 2027
Rain in a typical yearAbout 1,001 mm
This season's rainLeaning 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.
