The map is the result of adding temperature increases already observed in South Sudan with predicted increases through 2039.

Warming trends lead to decreased evapotranspiration and declining precipitation. Since the mid-1970s, South Sudan has experienced a decline of between 10 to 20 percent in average precipitation as well as increased variability in the amount and timing of rainfall from year to year.
