Rain in a typical yearAbout 2,088 mm
This season's rainLeaning dry — September looks 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.

Is this exact for my own field?

No — these are readings taken across Andapa, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
