What grows in An Nuhud
West Kordofan, Sudan
The 2027 season in An Nuhud
| Rainy seasons | One each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it |
|---|---|
| When the rains are expected | July 2027 to September 2027 |
| Rain in a typical year | About 306 mm |
| This season's rain | Rain close to usual — plan around about 306 mm falling roughly when it always does |
| This season's heat | Hotter than usual — about +1.7 °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 | 2 kinds of ground. The season below is the largest that farms — about 10% of this area. |
| 90% | too dry for rain-fed cropping without irrigation; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season no rain-fed season · about 230 mm |
|---|---|
| 10% | enough rain for one short crop, and only if timed to it; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 77 growing days · about 310 mm · July to September |

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.
What grows in An Nuhud with irrigation
These need water applied — rain alone will not carry them here. The dates are the windows their own water supply allows.

Frequently asked questions
What crops grow well in An Nuhud?
Jute mallow, Bambara groundnut, Common bean, Cowpea, Egusi melon all rate well in An Nuhud — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant Jute mallow in An Nuhud?
In An Nuhud the window for Jute mallow runs 7 Jul 2027 to 6 Aug 2027.
Is there a farming app that works in An Nuhud?
Divisi does. It reads An Nuhud'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 An Nuhud, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
