Khartoum's weather extremes
The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Khartoum has recorded — the outer limits of what its weather can do. This station's daily record ended in 2023, so these are historical extremes from that period, not records updated to today.
The four kinds of extreme
The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest single days Khartoum has recorded — each shown against what a normal day that time of year looks like.
That is about 25°F hotter than a normal March afternoon in Khartoum (typical high near 99°F).
The three most extreme on record
About 32°F colder than a normal February night in Khartoum (typical low near 66°F).
The three most extreme on record
More rain in a single day than Khartoum usually gets in the whole month of August (typical August total about 2.2 in).

How hot and cold it gets, month by month
The shaded band is the normal range of daily temperatures for each month. The dots show the most extreme it has ever been — so you can see how far beyond a normal day the records really sit.
Khartoum's record heat sits well above even a hot day for the season — March's 124°F is about 25°F beyond a normal hot afternoon. Its record cold is just as far below a normal winter night — the dots mark how rare each extreme really is.

Methodology & sources
Temperature & precipitation — 1991–2020 normals computed from 24 years of daily observations at Khartoum, a weather station, about 5 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
