What grows in Monts de lam
LOGONE ORIENTAL, Tchad
The 2026 season in Monts de lam
| Rainy seasons | One each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it |
|---|---|
| When the rains are expected | May 2026 to November 2026 |
| Rain in a typical year | About 1,106 mm |
| This season's rain | Rain close to usual — plan around about 1,106 mm falling roughly when it always does |
| This season's heat | Hotter than usual — about +1.1 °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 | 2 kinds of ground. The season below is the largest that farms — about 92% of this area. |
| 92% | enough rain for one full main crop; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 207 growing days · about 1,110 mm · April to November |
|---|---|
| 7% | enough rain for one short crop, and only if timed to it; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 172 growing days · about 1,010 mm · May to October |

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.
