Meaning
The wet part of the year, when the heavy rains come — broadly May to June and again September to November — greening the land, filling the rivers and catchments, and swelling the crops (but also bringing floods and mud). The rainy season is the counterpart of the 'dry weather', and the whole rhythm of farming, from planting to reaping, turns on its coming and going.
