The 2026/27 season in Irumu

When the rains are expectedFebruary 2026 to January 2027
Rain in a typical yearAbout 1,199 mm
This season's rainLeaning wet — January, February, October, November and December 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.

Rain-fed. These dates are worked out from each place's own rainfall, for a field watered by the season — with irrigation a window can open earlier, close later, or come round more than once a year. Check your own field under What grows, or get the Divisi app for a calendar dated to your farm.

Divisi scored 74 crops against this district's own ground; 0 came back without a sowing date.

Plan the season, not just check it

The crops and dates above are read at cells spread across Irumu, and the map colours which kind of ground each part of it is. Your own soil, slope and rainfall will shift the dates — the Divisi app works them out for your field, and dates each job that follows.

Frequently asked questions

What crops grow well in Irumu?

Cassava, Grapefruit, Green gram, Guava, Jute mallow all rate well in Irumu — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.

When should I plant Cassava in Irumu?

In Irumu the window for Cassava runs 21 Jan 2026 to 1 Jan 2027.

Is there a farming app that works in Irumu?

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