The 2026 season in Galomaro/Cosse
| Rainy seasons | One each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it |
|---|---|
| When the rains are expected | May 2026 to November 2026 |
| Rain in a typical year | About 1,490 mm |
| This season's rain | Rain close to usual — plan around about 1,490 mm falling roughly when it always does |
| This season's heat | Hotter than usual — about +0.9 °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 one full main crop, warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season |
| Ground this covers | One kind of ground throughout. |

Rain-fed. These dates are worked out from each place's own rainfall, for a field watered by the season — with irrigation a window can open earlier, close later, or come round more than once a year. Check your own field under What grows, or get the Divisi app for a calendar dated to your farm.

These need water applied — rain alone will not carry them here. The dates are the windows their own water supply allows.

Plan the season, not just check it
The crops and dates above are read at cells spread across Galomaro/Cosse, and the map colours which kind of ground each part of it is. Your own soil, slope and rainfall will shift the dates — the Divisi app works them out for your field, and dates each job that follows.

Frequently asked questions
What crops grow well in Galomaro/Cosse?
African nightshade, Cashew, Common bean, Cowpea, Green gram all rate well in Galomaro/Cosse — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant African nightshade in Galomaro/Cosse?
In Galomaro/Cosse the window for African nightshade runs 31 May 2026 to 28 Sep 2026.
Is there a farming app that works in Galomaro/Cosse?
Divisi does. It reads Galomaro/Cosse'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 Galomaro/Cosse, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
