The best climate condition to plant Plantain is immediately after the end of Dry season. start from April. Although it can also be plant round the year depend on level of humidity if you can wet it during dry season. But if you plant it between April till November you get good result without too much stress. I do plant January because some part of my land are very close to river and the soil it always cold round the year.
There is no thought plantain is a water loving crop but not too flooding. The kind of soil you needs must has capacity to hold water. So that the level of humidity must be high.

Ideally,
the average air temperature should be about 30c and rainfall at lease 100mm per
month.
Rainfall should be distributed throughout the year and dry season should
be short as possible.
Irrigation is advisable during dry season. Start from November to March of every year.
You can design this kind of artificial means of irrigation show in picture below, in case your farm is not too close to river or steam.
But if you are not into commercial quantity irrigation may not to necessary because of capital intensive.
