 | | At Khartoum the five year period centred on 1922, with 289.8 mm, was the wettest in the record, but at Ed Dueim the wettest period occurred later, with a mean of 428 mm in the fiveyear period centred on 1938. |
 | | At Ed Dueim the lowest five-year mean period was centred on 1975 (156.9 mm), while the 1966-1982 mean of 210 mm was only 37 per cent of the 1921-1950 mean. |
 | | The total of 532 mm at Ed Dueim exceeded the previous highest annual total by almost 60 mm and serves as a good illustration of the highly capricious nature of Sudanese rainfall in general. |
