The 2026/27 season in Eengodi

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 564 mm
This season's rainRain close to usual — plan around about 564 mm falling roughly when it always does
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.
What that supportsenough rain for one short crop, and only if timed to it, warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season
Ground this coversOne kind of ground throughout.

Plan the season, not just check it

Frequently asked questions

What crops grow well in Eengodi?

Sesame, Groundnut, Lablab, Roselle, Soybean all rate well in Eengodi — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.

When should I plant Sesame in Eengodi?

In Eengodi the window for Sesame runs 9 Nov 2026 to 9 Dec 2026.

Is there a farming app that works in Eengodi?

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