When the rains are expectedFebruary 2026 to January 2027
Rain in a typical yearAbout 1,256 mm
This season's rainLeaning wet — January, February, November and December look heavier than usual. Make sure water can drain off the field; a wet year does more damage through waterlogging and disease than through the rain itself.
