Planning When to Visit Uganda

Equatorial Uganda has a pleasant warm and tropical climate with insignificant seasonal variations, making it good to visit year round, although there are wetter months that make certain plans and activities somewhat trickier, which is worth factoring into your planning.  Average temperatures are around 21.5°C or 71°F, dropping to a minimum of 12°C or 54°F at night time, with altitude also affecting this.  Being on the equator, rainfall ranges between 1,000 and 2,000 millimeters each year, but depending on time of year these can be short bursts which give rise to clearer skies.  In recent years climate change has caused some irregularity of weather patterns, with seasons becoming harder to predict.
