Generally, Uganda experiences a dry season in December, January, and mid-march and from June throughout mid-September. However, these months are the most popular with tourists. Uganda experiences rain starting in October and November as well as April and May; since Uganda experiences rainfall in those months, that doesn’t mean that it falls every day or all day. In Uganda, the temperature is very stable and pleasant as well, with almost 360 days of sunshine a year during the daytime, unlike other countries of East Africa, with a varying climate that changes at any time, thus making movement difficult in those areas. It is challenging to predict the weather in these areas; however, in Uganda, the temperature ranges between 23 and 27 degrees centigrade in many places, which means that it can be pretty cool at night time, thus providing favorable conditions to tourists
