What grows in Mundri East
Western Equatoria, South Sudan
The 2027 season in Mundri East
| Rainy seasons | One each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it |
|---|---|
| When the rains are expected | April 2027 to November 2027 |
| Rain in a typical year | About 858 mm |
| This season's rain | Rain close to usual — plan around about 858 mm falling roughly when it always does |
| This season's heat | Hotter than usual — about +1.5 °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 one full main crop, warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season |
| Ground this covers | One kind of ground throughout. |

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