The 2026 season in Boripe

Rainy seasonsOne each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it
When the rains are expectedMarch 2026 to November 2026
Rain in a typical yearAbout 1,296 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.
This season's heatHotter than usual — about +0.8 °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.

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