Ideal at least 39°F (4°C)Won't grow below 30°F (-1°C)
Average temperature
Ideal 73–86°F (23–30°C)Won't grow below 66°F (19°C) or above 93°F (34°C)
Dry-season length
Ideal at least 3 monthsLowers yield outside the ideal, never rules it out
Yearly rain
Ideal 31–98 in (800–2,500 mm)Won't grow below 16 in (400 mm) or above 157 in (4,000 mm)

A dry or cool spell before flowering gives a good crop; rain at flowering brings anthracnose.

How this map works

Every 28 km square of land is scored 0–100 against the requirements above, using 1991–2020 monthly climate averages with frost, chill and heat estimated by simulating daily weather. Each square is scored with whichever variety fits it best. “With irrigation” ignores rain shortfalls; “Rain-fed only” counts them.

Climate is only part of it: soil, slope, water and markets decide where a crop is actually farmed. Use this to shortlist places, then check them locally.
