Khartoum's Climate

Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, stands at the confluence of the Blue and White Nile in the semi-arid deserts of north-eastern Africa and has a hot desert climate. Sunshine is intense almost all year, the air is dry and skies are nearly cloudless. The hottest stretch is late spring and early summer (April–June), with daytime highs usually 40–43°C and sometimes above 44°C. A short rainy season arrives around July–September, bringing a few showers and thunderstorms. Winters (December–February) are drier and more comfortable, near 30°C by day with cool nights. A signature feature is the violent haboob dust storm, common at the start of the wet season.
