Seasonal context
Rainfall and the growing season in Nāngloi Jāt
July has the highest average precipitation (179 mm); November has the lowest (4 mm). Compare this pattern with the planting windows and your water supply.
During wetter months, check that beds and containers drain after heavy rain. During drier months, plan how you will keep seeds and new transplants watered. Monthly averages can hide long dry spells and intense storms; they do not show soil moisture, humidity or this week's weather.

Local growing check
Before choosing mung beans for Nāngloi Jāt
- July is the wettest month in the rainfall grid, averaging about 179 mm. Check how your own bed drains and plan watering around actual soil moisture; monthly rain totals are not an irrigation schedule.
The temperature and rainfall tables on this page show the underlying climate estimates. How these suitability checks work · Record what happens in your garden.
Before you plant mung beans
Use the calendar to plan ahead, then check the conditions in your own garden.
- Measure the soil at sowing depth. Aim for at least 18°C (64.4°F); the calendar estimates soil warmth from air temperatures and cannot measure your bed.
- Check the local overnight forecast before planting out. Delay planting or keep protection ready if frost is forecast, even after the historical last-frost date.
- Use the maturity range on your seed packet when choosing a variety. Cold, short days and transplant stress can make harvest later than the calendar estimate.
Choose a mung cultivar that can finish dry pods locally
Use a warm, sunny, drained bed. Maintain moisture while young plants establish, then watch weather around flowering and pod set; heavy rain can affect the crop even when foliage remains vigorous.
Pick mature pods before they shed seed and dry sound beans properly before storage. Record whether harvest required several passes. Growing a field crop does not by itself establish safe sprouting conditions; use appropriate food-hygiene guidance if that is your intended use.
What to record this season
Did pods mature together, and how much seed was lost through shattering or wet weather? Add the cultivar, sowing date and conditions to your growing record so you can compare next season.

Why these dates
Use a warm, sunny, drained bed. Maintain moisture while young plants establish, then watch weather around flowering and pod set; heavy rain can affect the crop even when foliage remains vigorous.
Check the named variety and local forecast before exposing young growth. The catalog cold-damage figure is a reference, not a guarantee: plant age, acclimatisation, wind and the duration of a freeze affect damage.
This calendar uses frost-relative offsets as a starting point. Mung beans are timed for direct sowing 2 weeks after it, and this page simply resolves those offsets against the frost date computed for Nāngloi Jāt.
The calendar also applies a soil-warming estimate derived from historical air temperatures. Where that estimate is later than the frost-based date, it delays the window. Soil in your own garden can warm earlier or later; a thermometer at sowing depth is a better final check. Cold, wet conditions can slow germination and increase decay risk.

Can I grow mung beans in Nāngloi Jāt?
The calendar estimates a planting window, not a guarantee of success. July is the wettest month in the rainfall grid, averaging about 179 mm. Check how your own bed drains and plan watering around actual soil moisture; monthly rain totals are not an irrigation schedule.
When should I plant mung beans in Nāngloi Jāt?
Aim for 6-27 Feb in an average year. If you would rather not gamble on the weather, wait until 6-27 Feb - by then frost has finished in nine years out of ten.
Can I plant mung beans earlier in Nāngloi Jāt?
The historical frost estimate is 21 Jan. For Mung beans, an air-temperature model estimates soil warmth of about 18°C (64.4°F) around 6 Feb. This is not a soil measurement or a forecast. Check your bed at sowing depth; cold, wet conditions can slow growth and increase decay risk.
When might mung beans be ready to harvest in Nāngloi Jāt?
The estimated period is 22 Apr - 17 May, based on 75 to 100 days from the modeled planting date. Cultivar, planting material and growing conditions can change this interval; check the plant as well as the calendar.
How much frost will mung beans tolerate?
Check the named variety and local forecast before exposing young growth. The catalog cold-damage figure is a reference, not a guarantee: plant age, acclimatisation, wind and the duration of a freeze affect damage.
