The climate is wonderful. The temps (F) range from 70's and 80;'s in the day to high 50's and 60s at night. All year around. It can rain any day, but usually this lasts for less than hour then the sky gets clear. There are two rainy seasons, where the rainfall will be slightly more frequent, but even then it's not bad. The cool temperature for the equator was the biggest and best surprise about Kampala. - Aug 2018
