The 2026/27 season in Morogoro
| Rainy seasons | One each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it |
|---|---|
| When the rains are expected | October 2026 to June 2027 |
| Rain in a typical year | About 762 mm in a typical farming district |
| Across its districts | From about 684 mm in the driest of 7 districts to about 1,422 mm in the wettest |
| This season's rain | Rain close to usual — plan around about 762 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 one typical farming district's, not a figure for the whole of this area. |
| 88% | enough rain for one full main crop; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 241 growing days · about 1,230 mm · November to July |
|---|---|

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 here with irrigation
Plan the season, not just check it
The crops above are gathered from every district in Morogoro, 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.

Frequently asked questions
What crops grow well in Morogoro?
Mango, Cashew, Pigeon pea, Pearl millet, Cotton all rate well in Morogoro — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant Mango in Morogoro?
In Morogoro the window for Mango runs 25 Oct 2026 to 3 Apr 2027.
Is there a farming app that works in Morogoro?
Divisi does. It reads Morogoro'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 Morogoro, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
