The 2026/27 season in Guijá

Rainy seasonsOne each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it
When the rains are expectedNovember 2026 to April 2027
Rain in a typical yearAbout 593 mm
This season's rainLeaning dry — January, February, November and December look 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.
This season's heatHotter than usual — about +1.7 °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.

Plan the season, not just check it

Frequently asked questions

What crops grow well in Guijá?

Pineapple, Mango, Sesame, Cashew, Egusi melon all rate well in Guijá — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.

When should I plant Pineapple in Guijá?

In Guijá the window for Pineapple runs 27 Oct 2026 to 16 Nov 2026.

Is there a farming app that works in Guijá?

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