The 2026 season in Praslin
| When the rains are expected | January 2026 to December 2026 |
|---|---|
| Rain in a typical year | About 2,847 mm |
| This season's rain | Leaning wet — January, February, September, 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 heat | Hotter than usual — about +1.1 °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 supports | enough rain for a long crop, or two in a year, warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season |
| Ground this covers | 2 kinds of ground. The season below is one typical farming district's, not a figure for the whole of this area. |

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.
Plan the season, not just check it
The crops above are gathered from every district in Praslin, and the ground under them is not all the same. 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.

Planting windows shift with the forecast. Leave your email and we'll send what changed, and a note when planting time nears — a couple of emails a month at most.
Frequently asked questions
What crops grow well in Praslin?
Banana, Cashew, Cassava, Cocoa, Taro all rate well in Praslin — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant Banana in Praslin?
In Praslin the window for Banana runs 21 Jan 2026 to 1 Jan 2027.
Is there a farming app that works in Praslin?
Divisi does. It reads Praslin'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 Praslin, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
