Khartoum - Post Report Question and Answers
What is the overall climate: is it extremely hot or cold, wet or dry, at any time of year, for example?
The climate is ranges from oppressively hot to hot. November through February tend to be the most comfortable months, with temperatures plummeting to the 80s on some days. This is when you’ll see the guards wearing parkas, hats and gloves. There is a “rainy†season (usually a short shower) and a haboob season. Haboob dirt gets into everything, everywhere. There is no escaping it, making it difficult to keep your house clean. For this reason, many people hire domestic staff to clean their houses. - Feb 2018
Oppressively hot in the summer season, which is quite long. The heat starts in late March and lasts through October. There is a short rainy season in the summer, typically starting around July and lasts about a month. The rest of the year is dry so people used to the heat in Arizona or Texas will feel at home. The winter months are comfortable, and this is prime time for camping trips into the desert or diving in Port Sudan. - May 2017
