Rain in a typical yearAbout 1,282 mm
This season's rainLeaning wet — October, November and December 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 +0.9 °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.

Is this exact for my own field?

No — these are readings taken across Korogwe, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
