The Uganda National Meteorological Authority has announced that seasonal rainfall is expected during the months of June to August.
According to the weather report released on May 29, 2024, meteorologists noted that the months of June, July, and August will experience a dry season in the southern, central, and Lake Victoria basin regions.
A weather report signed by Bob Alex Ogwang, the acting executive director of the Uganda National Meteorological Authority, indicates a continuation of rainfall in the northern parts of the country.
“It marks the end of the first rainfall season and harvesting period for season crops for most parts of the country,” Ogwang said.
Additionally, Ogwang stated that the general rainfall forecasts indicate that the northern parts of the country are expected to receive above-average rainfall.
Ogwang explains that the current neutral state of the sea surface temperatures over the equatorial Central Pacific is a contributing factor to the weather patterns.
“There is high chance that rainfall is likely to perform near normal to the above normal over northern and eastern parts of the country, while the southern parts of the country are likely to experience near normal to above normal. This is likely to have impact on social-economic activities,” Ogwang said
