  The rehabilitation of the observation stations was carried out mainly by providing stations with new meteorological instruments and the SMD maintenance workshops with spares and tools. Special attention was paid to the rehabilitation of agrometeorological stations. Two upper-air sounding stations (Khartoum and El Fasher) were upgraded with new systems to measure upper-air temperature, humidity, pressure and wind. The number of operational synoptic weather stations increased from 27 to 35. Eight of these are also serving as agrometeorological stations. The number of rainfall stations was doubled from 350 to 700. Some of interruptions in the observation stations was caused by the internal unrest in south.
