The 2027 season in Guidimagha

Rainy seasons	One each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it
When the rains are expected	July 2027 to September 2027
Rain in a typical year	About 322 mm in a typical farming district
Across its districts	From about 310 mm in the driest of 4 districts to about 410 mm in the wettest
This season's rain	Rain close to usual — plan around about 322 mm falling roughly when it always does
This season's heat	Hotter than usual — about +1.8 °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 supports	enough rain for one short crop, and only if timed to it, warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season
Ground this covers	2 kinds of ground. The season below is one typical farming district's, not a figure for the whole of this area.
