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.
If you only get one chance to plant, aim for around 1 Jan 2027. That is the point in the window where the rains are most reliably established.
This season's rainfall outlook for Police Department Port Said Port is close to normal, so these dates match the pattern the area usually follows.
Planting after 22 Mar 2027 leaves the crop short of season: it runs into the dry months before it has finished filling.

|---|---|
| The soil | 76% |
| The lie of the land | 76% |

The season in Police Department Port Said Port
| Rain in a typical year | About 75 mm |
|---|---|
| This season's rain | Rain close to usual — plan around about 75 mm falling roughly when it always does |

| Ground this covers | This area is smaller than the climate grid can resolve, so it reads as one kind of ground. |
