Download the full food security and climate change assessment for Sudan here. Sudan lies at the northern most extent of the band of tropical rains known as the Inter-tropical Convergence Zone. This means it has a strong gradient of rainfall, ranging from extremely dry conditions in the north

. “A frontal system is expected to move in from the west and displace the high pressure lying across the UK. This will spread rain across all areas during the latter part of Easter Sunday and through Easter Monday, although there is some uncertainty regarding its exact timing. Once the rain clears blustery

tonight and the hills and mountains of Scotland and Northern Ireland could see a few cms of lying snow above 200-300 metres. Widespread icy patches will develop on untreated surfaces first thing Monday morning and could cause a few travel problems.” Whilst the blustery, cold conditions are a contrast

We’ll still have cold days, but features like lying snow will become an increasing rarity, especially in southern England. “Between 1991 and 2019 a wide swathe of southern England could expect maximum temperatures on the coldest winter day to be on average between 0.0 °C and 2.0 °C. However

It could turn more generally wet again later in the week
