Sudan, South Sudan and Uganda should brace for heavy rains between June and August 2026

Despite speculations against the looming El-Nino, drier than usual conditions are expected over the northern part of the Eastern Africa region during the June, July and August season.

This is according to the latest weather forecast reports from the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) Climate Prediction and Applications Centre (ICPAC)

However, both Sudan and South Sudan will experience a wetter than usual weather condition during the start of the June-August season, which means heavy downpour may drench most parts of the two countries

On the other hand, the corresponding temperatures are expected to be warmer than usual across the entire region.

Rainfall Forecast for June 2026

Wetter than usual conditions expected over Sudan, most parts of South Sudan, Uganda, and parts of eastern and western Ethiopia, where rains are bound to fall in plenty.

But drier than usual conditions expected over some other areas of southern South Sudan, north-eastern Uganda, western Kenya, central to northern Ethiopia, and western Eritrea.

However, the National Meteorological agencies in Tanzania and Kenya have recently been warning against the looming El-Nino spell which may bring heavy rains in most parts of East Africa.

The so-called ‘Supe El-Nino,’ according to reports, will also be experienced across the globe between late 2026 and early 2027.
