March weather forecast
South Sudan

In South Sudan, March signifies the beginning of the transition from the dry season to the wet season. The weather patterns during this month start to shift, with a noticeable increase in humidity and rainfall compared to the preceding dry months of January and February.

Average daytime temperatures continue to hover around 33°C (91.4°F), but nighttime temperatures may fall slightly, to 20°C (68°F). The marked diurnal temperature variation experienced in the dry season begins to lessen as the wet season approaches.

The rainfall in March begins to increase, with precipitation levels typically rising to about 30mm (1.18") over the course of the month. This is a significant rise from the negligible rainfall of the dry season but still much less than the heavy downpours experienced in the peak of the wet season.

Juba, the capital, reflects these climate patterns with increasing humidity and rainfall, alongside sustained high temperatures. March, therefore, is slightly less comfortable for visitors due to the increased humidity and the beginning of rainfall, signaling the transition to the wet season.

As one looks forward to April, weather conditions continue to evolve towards the full onset of the wet season, with increasing rainfall and humidity, while temperatures remain consistently high.
