Are these live forecasts?
No — they are monthly climate normals from Open-Meteo’s historical archive (multi-year averages), cached for SEO and shared hosting. Use a local forecast for planting-day decisions.
How do I use this with the crop calendar?
Compare cooler/drier months with the Madagascar planting calendar and frost dates. Elevation and microclimates still matter.
These are multi-year monthly averages, not live forecasts. Microclimates and elevation matter — confirm with local weather before planting.
