The 2026/27 season in Cidade da Beira

Rainy seasonsOne each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it
When the rains are expectedOctober 2026 to July 2027
Rain in a typical yearAbout 1,359 mm
This season's rainLeaning dry — January, February and November 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 +1.0 °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.
