Reports from weather experts have forecasted heavy rains mixed with thunderstorm and lightning across Uganda that may result into floods and disease outbreak.

According to a pre-prepared statement by Uganda National Meteorological Authority (UNMA) that was read by State minister for Environment, Dr Mary Kitutu,  farmers have a leeway of planting both quick and long maturing crops owing to good rains ahead.

“Overall, there is an increased likelihood of above normal rainfall over most parts of Uganda and near normal rainfall in most parts of Karamoja and southern cattle corridor,” Dr Kitutu said.

The forecast has been rated at 90 per cent accurate.
