The 2026 season in Moshi Urban

Rainy seasonsOne each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it
When the rains are expectedFebruary 2026 to July 2026
Rain in a typical yearAbout 719 mm
This season's rainLeaning wet — February look heavier than usual. Make sure water can drain off the field; a wet year does more damage through waterlogging and disease than through the rain itself.
This season's heatHotter 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.

Is there a farming app that works in Moshi Urban?

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