Nyala's Climate
Nyala sits in South Darfur in western Sudan, on dry inland savanna far from any coast, giving it a hot semi-arid climate with two clear seasons: dry and wet. The dry season runs from October to May, bringing fierce sun, low humidity and dusty harmattan winds off the Sahara that leave the sky hazy. The hottest stretch comes just before the rains, around April to June, when daytime highs typically reach 38–42°C. A short rainy season from June to September, driven by the southwesterly monsoon, brings showers and thunderstorms that cool the air and green the grasslands. Winter nights are pleasantly cool.
