The 2026/27 season in North West
| When the rains are expected | October 2026 to April 2027 |
|---|---|
| Rain in a typical year | About 418 mm in a typical farming district |
| Across its districts | From about 418 mm in the driest of 4 districts to about 1,035 mm in the wettest |
| This season's rain | Rain close to usual — plan around about 418 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, with a cool spell that slows winter growth |
| Ground this covers | 2 kinds of ground. The season below is one typical farming district's, not a figure for the whole of this area. |
| 58% | enough rain for one full main crop; warm, with a cool spell that slows winter growth 210 growing days · about 610 mm · September to May |

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.

Plan the season, not just check it
The crops above are gathered from every district in North West, and the ground under them is not all the same. Your own soil, slope and rainfall will shift the dates — the Divisi app works them out for your field, and dates each job that follows.
This calendar moves
Planting windows shift with the forecast. Leave your email and we'll send what changed, and a note when planting time nears — a couple of emails a month at most.
Frequently asked questions
What crops grow well in North West?
Beetroot, Swiss chard, Lettuce, Cabbage, Wheat all rate well in North West — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant Beetroot in North West?
In North West the window for Beetroot runs 30 Sep 2026 to 20 Oct 2026.
Is there a farming app that works in North West?
Divisi does. It reads North West'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 North West, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
