Adjusted School Hours Due to Seasonal Cold Wave Across Sudan

Khartoum, Sudan - As the Sudan Meteorological Authority (SMA), we closely monitor and analyze weather patterns across Sudan to provide accurate forecasts and valuable insights for various sectors, including education. Recently, due to significant temperature drops in parts of Sudan, The Director General of the Ministry of Education in North Kordofan has announced adjustments to school opening times to ensure the safety and well-being of students.

The change in school schedules comes after SMA's detailed weather reports indicated an unusual decrease in temperatures in the Northern Kordofan region, impacting daily activities and potentially the health of children commuting to school in the early hours. Our forecasts serve as a critical tool for decision-makers in adapting to weather-related challenges, emphasizing our role in safeguarding communities against adverse weather conditions.

The SMA remains committed to delivering timely and precise weather information to assist all sectors in Sudan, including education, agriculture, and health, in making informed decisions. We continue to work closely with the Ministry of Education and other stakeholders, providing them with the necessary weather data to ensure the safety and comfort of students and the general public.

We encourage the public to stay informed about the latest weather updates and advisories issued by the SMA through our website and social media channels. Our priority is to ensure that every citizen is prepared for and can respond appropriately to the weather conditions in their area.
