Elgon, and West Nile could experience very heavy rains, potentially triggering flooding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Temperatures will vary across regions, ranging from below 8\u00b0C in the high mountains of Rwenzori and Mt. Elgon, to 16-20\u00b0C in southern areas, 20-24\u00b0C in most places, and 24-28\u00b0C near the River Nile and Lake Albert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The heavy rains may lead to flooding, road damage, and water contamination. Lightning strikes and fog could also disrupt travel, while some bridges may be washed away, isolating certain communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Farmers are urged to weed their crops and monitor pests, as the rains will benefit agriculture.Communities are advised to harvest rainwater, plant trees, and ensure safe drinking water to prevent waterborne diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Urban authorities should prioritize clearing blocked drainage systems to prevent road flooding, while drivers are cautioned to exercise extreme care in foggy conditions to ensure road safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bulletin emphasizes the importance of timely hazard reporting and adherence to safety guidelines to mitigate risks during this period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kampala, Uganda &#8211; Uganda\u2019s weather experts under the Department of Meteorological Services (DMS) have predicted significant
