The 2026 season in Ango

Rainy seasonsOne each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it

Rain in a typical yearAbout 1,298 mm
This season's rainLeaning wet — October and November look heavier than usual. Make sure water can drain off the field; a wet year does more damage through waterlogging and disease than through the rain itself.
This season's heatHotter than usual — about +1.2 °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 Ango?

African nightshade, Cashew, Cucumber, Jute mallow, Okra all rate well in Ango — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.

When should I plant African nightshade in Ango?

In Ango the window for African nightshade runs 24 Mar 2026 to 6 Oct 2026.

Is there a farming app that works in Ango?

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