The climate of Wad Hamid
Situated in the Subtropical desert zone with a predominant climate classified under Köppen's BWh scheme, Wad Hamid is a land of shining sun and soaring temperatures. Spread across the months, this region of Sudan brandishes an extravagant spectrum of weather elements, oscillating between blistering heat and relative coolness.
Temperature fluctuations across the year are potent and pronounced in this area with scorching highs soaring up to 42ºC amid summer months while the winters showcase a more comfortable platter, with lows dipping to approximately 15.6ºC. These drops and surges in temperature are a constant cyclical routine, with the transition months of spring and autumn indicating a balanced blend of the two extreme seasons.
The distribution of rainfall is quite sporadic and heavily weighted towards the latter half of the year. Amassing a total of 48mm (1.89") from May to December, with the rainiest period being August garnering a significant 22mm (0.87"), the desert terrain does get its due share of precipitation. In stark opposition, the first four months enjoy a bone-dry stretch with virtually no indication of moisture.
Humidity levels fluctuate between 13% and 35%, reflecting a decidedly arid environment. The dry nature of the atmosphere is readily apparent in most parts of the year, barring a slight increase during the Monsoon months. An intense flood of sunshine throughout the year, totalling about 120 hours a month, further intensifies the arid climate, supplemented by broadly clear skies and an annual peaking ultraviolet index of 9. Sudden gusts of wind often tear through the landscape, reaching up to 25.6km/h (15.9mph).
