Sudan has a tropical climate. Seasonal variations are most sharply
defined in the desert zones, where winter temperatures as low as 4.4 C
(about 40 F) are common, particularly after sunset. Summer temperatures
often exceed 43.3 C (about 110 F) in the desert zones, and rainfall is
negligible. Dust storms, called haboobs, frequently occur. High
temperatures also prevail to the south throughout the central plains
region, but the humidity is generally low. In the vicinity of Khartoum
the average annual temperature is about 26.7 C (about 80 F); and annual
rainfall, most of which occurs between mid-June and September, is about
254 mm (about 10 in). Equatorial climatic conditions prevail in southern
Sudan. In this region the average annual temperature is about 29.4 C
(about 85 F), annual rainfall is more than 1015 mm (more than 40 in
