Climate

The larger part of Uganda has a tropical climate which varies according to altitude. During the year the hottest months are from December to February when the temperature reaches 29 degrees Celsius. The rainy seasons are from April to May and October to November, with the wettest month being April, but it can rain at any time of the day, especially in forest ecosystems.
Despite her  location to the equator temperatures in some parts of the Uganda  can be quite cool owing to the countries’ high altitude. The mountain areas become much cooler and the top of Mount Elgon and the Rwenzori are often covered with snow. Other parts of Uganda are much warmer. There is heavy rain between March and May and between October and November. The best times are December-March and June-September. It can be somewhat rainy then, but not as rainy as in the rainy season, March-June. December-February and June-July are the driest times, when things can even be dusty.
