How to read a farm forecast

Rain in millimetres (mm): 1 mm is a light shower. 10 mm wets the topsoil. 20–25 mm or more in a day or two is a soaking: enough to plant. 40 mm or more in a day is heavy rain and can flood low fields.
Temperature (°C): The top number is the afternoon high. 35°C is hot; 38°C or more stresses crops, animals and people. Night temperatures of 12°C or less (harmattan) slow tomato and pepper.
Humidity (%): How damp the air is. Above 80% for several days favours fungal diseases like blight and leaf spot. Below 25% is the dry harmattan: good for drying grain, but a fire risk.
Warnings: Pest, disease and flood warnings come from the same forecast: when the weather suits a pest or disease for many days in a row, the risk rises. They are a signal to check your field, not a diagnosis.
How sure is it?: The first 3 days are most reliable; days 4–7 show the general pattern. Forecasts are for the state capital, so your farm may differ, especially in hilly areas.

How fast each state is warming

Trend in yearly mean temperature, 1981–2025. Hotter seasons shorten crop cycles, raise evaporation and favour some pests.
