The University of Dongola experiences a hot desert climate typical of Northern Sudan. The weather at UoD can be described as follows:
Temperature: Summer temperatures often exceed 40°C (104°F), while winter nights can drop to around 10°C (50°F).
Rainfall: The region is extremely arid with minimal rainfall, typically less than 25mm annually.
Seasonal Variations: The hottest months are May to September, with cooler temperatures from November to February.
Extreme Weather: Sandstorms and dust storms are common, particularly during the summer months.
Impact on Campus Life: The hot climate affects commuting, often requiring air-conditioned transport, and limits outdoor activities during peak heat hours. Research in fields like agriculture and environmental science at UoD must account for these conditions.
