[This applies specifically for the autonomous region of Southern Sudan, in anticipation of independence.] The far south is marshland. There the rainy season runs from May to September. In the central area the rainy season begins later, in July. The daytime temperature then averages 30 to 35 °C and is regarded as being 'cool'. It is hot is from April to June.
