The 2027 season in Napak

Rainy seasonsOne each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it
When the rains are expectedMarch 2027 to November 2027
Rain in a typical yearAbout 689 mm
This season's rainLeaning dry — September and October look short of rain. Plant at the early end of the window, favour quicker and more drought-tolerant crops, and keep moisture in the soil: mulch, and weed early.
This season's heatHotter than usual — about +1.9 °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 full main crop, warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season
Ground this coversOne kind of ground throughout.

Plan the season, not just check it

The crops and dates above are read at cells spread across Napak, and the map colours which kind of ground each part of it is. 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.

Frequently asked questions

What crops grow well in Napak?

Cashew, Cucumber, Jute mallow, Pearl millet, Pineapple all rate well in Napak — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.

When should I plant Cashew in Napak?

In Napak the window for Cashew runs 28 Mar 2027 to 16 Jul 2027.

Is there a farming app that works in Napak?

Divisi does. It reads Napak'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 Napak, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
