Rainfall and dry-spell outlooks for growers.
Sample content — not an operational product
Agricultural guidance on this page is not yet published from the GMS forecast system. The figures on this page are illustrative and must not be used for any weather, marine or safety decision.
Grenada's growers work nutmeg, cocoa, banana, and a wide range of vegetable and root crops, much of it on steep ground where rainfall runs off quickly. Livestock and small-scale poultry operations face their own heat and water constraints.
The weather questions that matter here are rarely about a single day. They are about whether a dry spell is breaking, whether a planting window will hold, and whether the ground is saturated enough that more rain becomes a landslide risk.
| Season | Months | Character |
|---|---|---|
| Dry season | January – May | Lower rainfall, higher irrigation demand, elevated fire risk late in the period |
| Wet season | June – December | Higher totals, tropical waves and cyclone risk, saturated ground |
| Transition | May – June | Onset timing varies year to year and is the key planting decision |
Monthly rainfall summaries by station, seasonal rainfall outlooks, and drought status for the tri-island state. During dry spells these are the products that inform irrigation scheduling and water rationing decisions.
Heavy rainfall warnings carry particular weight for agriculture on slopes, where the risk is soil loss and landslip rather than standing water.
