Meteorological data for a period of 30 to 50 years was analysed to ascertain the climatic changes in the Republic of Sudan. The study confirms that the temperatures are rising and rainfall declining. Rigorous analysis of relative humidity, clouds
, radiation and evaporation also confirms the changing pattern, a trend which may accelerate environmental degradation and desertification in Sudan.

This paper is an attempt to investigate temperature and rainfall data in 3 countries of the Middle East (Oman, Bahrain, and Sudan) to determine if any change has taken place in the weather conditions. The short term environmental impact of the Gulf
War has been included in the study. The study confirms that temperatures are rising and rainfall is decreasing in Oman and other two countries, leading to increasing desertification processes. A brief geographical discussion of Oman, Bahrain, and Sudan
