Although it was warm, with temperatures exceeding 30 degrees, the air was dry and moisture-free. Despite the unpredictability of some showers, it was mostly sunny.
StijnConstant bright sunshine and almost no rain make this drought uncomfortable for some. Small deviations, but not uncontrollable.
Björn SeijsenerOctober in South Sudan brought us good weather. There was some rain, but also some sunny spells. The temperature was around 30 degrees, so it was quite warm. It is important to stay well hydrated!
SiemWarm days with temperatures above 30 degrees were interspersed with heavy rain, making it difficult to be outside at times. However, the experience was unique and educational.
