The 2026 season in Telimele

Rainy seasonsOne each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it
When the rains are expectedMay 2026 to November 2026
Rain in a typical yearAbout 2,340 mm
This season's rainRain close to usual — plan around about 2,340 mm falling roughly when it always does
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.
What that supportsenough rain for one full main crop, warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season
Ground this coversOne kind of ground throughout.

Plan the season, not just check it

The crops and dates above are read at cells spread across Telimele, 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 Telimele?

When should I plant African nightshade in Telimele?

In Telimele the window for African nightshade runs 20 May 2026 to 27 Sep 2026.

Is there a farming app that works in Telimele?

Divisi does. It reads Telimele'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 Telimele, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
