South Sudan features a tropical savanna climate dominated by wet and dry seasons, influenced by the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). Temperatures remain high year-round, rarely dropping below 15-20°C, with peaks exceeding 35-40°C in the dry season from December to April. The wet season spans April to November, delivering heavy rains that vary significantly by region, from under 500mm in arid northern lowlands to over 1500mm in southern highlands. Recent data from 2025 shows above-average temperatures across much of the country and La Niña-influenced wetter conditions in the southeast. High humidity during rains and intense dry heat pose challenges for residents, but lush savannas emerge post-rains, supporting wildlife and agriculture for expats adapting to equatorial conditions.
