At almost any time during the year, Sudan (Africa) is warmer than Switzerland (in central Europe). This applies to individual locations and to the countries on average.

The reasons:

1) Sudan is much closer to the equator than Switzerland is; at higher latitudes (from the equator) the Sun is slightly weaker (summer and winter) so areas generally further from the equator are cooler.

2) Both have large "climate moderating" geographical features in close proximity. Sudan is close to the largest "hot desert" in the world. Switzerland includes some of the highest mountains in the world, the Alps.

Generally speaking. most African countries are warmer year round than European countries. This is due to the fact that the equator is tilted at about 23 degrees to the plane of the ecliptic. This means that equatorial regions (between the Tropic of Cancer and the equator or between the Tropic of Capricorn and the equator) receive far more solar radiation than areas closer to the poles. There are more daylight hours over tropical and sub-tropical regions per year than in areas outside of these latitudes.

Sudan being closer to the equator, it is warmer in both summer and winter months. It averages 41 deg C in the summer months, and 15 deg C in the winter months. Sudan can get extremely hot for a few weeks in the summer and can get up to peak temperature of 48 deg C. Inside a closed vehicle in the sun at midday it can get up to 65 degrees C. The large desert areas in Sudan (part of the Sahara Desert) funnel heat out of the desert directly into Sudan, although the reverse occurs in winter when cooler winds from the Sahara cool Sudan.

In contrast, Switzerland is generally -10 to -5 deg C in winter (January) and 15 to 30 deg C in the June (summer), based on Zurich temperatures. If one goes to the mountains in winter, wind gusts can make it feel even colder (wind-chill factor). The snow capped mountains have a chilling effect as well on the area directly surrounding them. Cold air is dense and descends from the mountains into the valleys and lowlands surrounding it (there is a slight increase in air temperature as it descends, but the net effect is still colder).

Sudan also has a lower and flatter elevation on average than Switzerland.

Sudan is warmer year-round compared to Switzerland. Sudan experiences high temperatures throughout the year due to its location in the tropical region, while Switzerland has a more temperate climate with cold winters and warm summers.
