vigilant due to flash flood risks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Authorities emphasize caution in low-lying regions where sudden heavy rains could cause dangerous flooding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Key advisories include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Farmers in northern Uganda should utilize wet conditions for crops, while southern farmers may need irrigation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Karamoja communities should store rainwater for drier periods<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Public warned about increased malaria risk from stagnant water<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Motorists advised to drive carefully in foggy or hazy conditions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Farmers reminded to practice proper post-harvest handling and monitor for pests.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The department emphasizes the importance of proactive measures
