Climate and Weather in Khartoum, Sudan

The climate of Khartoum

What is the capital of Sudan? Khartoum (also written as Khartoum) is the capital of Sudan, a country in northeastern Africa. The city of more than eight million inhabitants (together with Khartoum-North and Omdurman) is located where the White Nile and Blue Nile meet. Then the water continues as the Nile in a northerly direction to Egypt. This important lifeline provides fertile riverbanks. This is the reason that Khartoum was founded in the early nineteenth century.

Khartoum has a warm desert climate, with high to very high temperatures throughout the year and little precipitation. In total, Khartoum receives only about one hundred and fifty millimeters of rain per year. The rain falls almost entirely within the short rainy season, which starts at the end of June and ends at the beginning of September. It will therefore come as no surprise that Khartoum is one of the sunniest capital cities in the world with an average of 3731 hours of sunshine per year. See abbreviations for Khartoum.
