Rice's preferred climate:
All of these factors are quite specific and yet each and every one of them points in the direction of the climate found in Asia! Asia provides a weather environment that is warm, offers a wet season, and is humid, not dry.

- 200 mm of monthly rainfall for lowland rice and 100 mm for upland rice;
- Requires a rainfall of 125 cm during vegetative stage;
- No standing water at ripening stage;
- Best suited for regions with assured water supply.
- Need hot and humid climate;
- Best suited for the regions having high humidity, prolonged sunshine;
- Mean temperature around 22°C through out growing period;
- Tolerates day temperature up to 40°C;
- Minimum of 10°C for sprouting;
- Optimum of 22°C to 23°C for flowering and 20°C to 21°C for grain formation;
