The 2026 season in Magwi

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 985 mm
This season's rainRain close to usual — plan around about 985 mm falling roughly when it always does
This season's heatHotter than usual — about +1.6 °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 full main crop, warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season
Ground this coversOne kind of ground throughout.

What grows in Magwi

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

Frequently asked questions

What crops grow well in Magwi?

Cashew, African eggplant, African nightshade, Amaranth, Bambara groundnut all rate well in Magwi — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.

When should I plant Cashew in Magwi?

In Magwi the window for Cashew runs 24 Mar 2026 to 6 Oct 2026.

Is there a farming app that works in Magwi?

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