What grows in Abu Jubayhah
South Kordofan, Sudan
The 2027 season in Abu Jubayhah
| Rainy seasons | One each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it |
|---|---|
| When the rains are expected | June 2027 to October 2027 |
| Rain in a typical year | About 459 mm |
| This season's rain | Rain close to usual — plan around about 459 mm falling roughly when it always does |
| This season's heat | Hotter 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 supports | enough rain for one short crop, and only if timed to it, warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season |
| Ground this covers | One kind of ground throughout. |

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.

Frequently asked questions
What crops grow well in Abu Jubayhah?
African nightshade, Bambara groundnut, Common bean, Cowpea, Cucumber all rate well in Abu Jubayhah — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant African nightshade in Abu Jubayhah?

Is there a farming app that works in Abu Jubayhah?
Divisi does. It reads Abu Jubayhah'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 Abu Jubayhah, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
