As Uganda lies on the
equator, the seasons are different to those experienced in the Northern and Southern hemispheres. Uganda’s
equatorial climate brings two seasons of rain each year: from mid-September to November and from March to May. The dry season from December - February will often still have regular showers, much reduced from the torrential rains of the wet season, but particularly in the rainforest, misty, wet days can still be expected. In comparison, June to August is generally much drier.
