One of my headcanons for Jedha deserts is that after rains- the desert blooms- a lot like how it works in the Atacama deserts in Chile- Lots of blue though. Then there’s just caravans that follow the rains around for this specific reason and small industries based on harvests flown in etc.
Sign posting rare plants or tubers for later emergencies of partial harvesting. People heading outside the city after rains to help gather. And the Disciples and guardians of the Whills and the other temples take part- as well as the tourists and pilgrims when it happens specifically around Jedha- or even as part of the Pilgrimages outside of the city before the Empire. I’m not sure how close in to the City mesa the desert would bloom- because those areas would be more heavily harvested/ disturbed/ or more likely be over older ruins.
I kind of wanted to have Baze/ Chirrut experience the rains outside in some sort of way while being involved with harvests/ plants in the desert.
On some pics of the moon- you can see the clouds- and I think maybe there are space nomads with speeders or ships who follow or keep note of them and follow behind, then harvest and fly it into the city/ inhabited areas to trade.
The Jedhans seem to have large pack animals- so maybe these rain times are when they gather the plant fodder to store.
Worm harvesting would also make sense following rains too- and the kinds of fauna connected to that. You have the kind of creatures that like Gynaephora groenlandica, the arctic woolly bear moth which have a life cycle of years because the feeding period is short- but they’re hardy as feck, and survive freezing temps.
