Ati is an important town in central Chad, located about 600 kilometers east of the capital, N'Djamena, and is the capital of the Hadjer-Lamis region. Situated in the Sahelian zone on the southern edge of the Sahara Desert, along the seasonal Batha River and surrounded by semi-arid grasslands, the town is the agricultural and pastoral hub of central Chad. The climate in Ati is hot and dry, with an average annual temperature of 28°C. It is divided into a hot dry season (March-October) and a short rainy season (July-September).
