Ugandan Climate

Uganda is close to the equator and thus has a tropical climate. But it is not as hot as you would think! Because of Uganda's many mountains and higher altitude, the weather is not as hot as other countries with low altitude near the equator.

Uganda has two rainy seasons. The first is from April to May and the second is from September to November. And because Uganda is close to the equator, most days have 12.5 hours of sunlight! You can see a photo of the rains in Uganda from this blog post, The Ritchies in Uganda (and if you check out the post, you can see more photos):

If you look at the right-hand-side of the blog, you can see what the temperature in Uganda is right now! Is it warmer or colder than where you live?

Voice of America published a very interesting article about what Ugandan children think about climate! These children attended the Children's Climate Change Conference and discussed how the climate might affect their lives. These kids had some great ideas for caring for the climate when they grow older! Check out the article here.

The climate information came from Kaziba.
