What to pack for South Sudan in the summer

For a summer trip to South Sudan, it is essential to pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the hot and humid climate.

Opt for loose-fitting clothes made of natural fabrics such as cotton to help stay cool and comfortable.

Be sure to include plenty of light-colored clothing to help reflect the sun's rays and prevent overheating. Additionally, pack a wide-brimmed hat to provide shade and protect your face and neck from the harsh sun.

Don't forget to also pack a swimsuit, as South Sudan has beautiful bodies of water where you can relax and cool off during the summer months.

In the summer, South Sudan experiences a hot and dry climate characterized by high temperatures regularly exceeding 40°C (104°F) and minimal rainfall, with the occasional thunderstorm providing some relief from the scorching heat.

The intense sunlight and lack of cloud cover contribute to the sweltering conditions, making it challenging for residents to stay cool and hydrated during the peak of the summer months.
