The 2027 season in Ar Rusayris

Rainy seasonsOne each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it
When the rains are expectedJune 2027 to October 2027
Rain in a typical yearAbout 509 mm
This season's rainRain close to usual — plan around about 509 mm falling roughly when it always does
This season's heatHotter than usual — about +1.4 °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 short crop, and only if timed to it, warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season
Ground this coversOne kind of ground throughout.
