Uganda in November

November is the second wettest month, with frequent and sometimes heavy rainfall, particularly around Lake Victoria and in the western highlands. Despite the rain, Uganda's equatorial climate means showers are usually short-lived, and sunshine breaks through regularly. Birdwatching is exceptional as migratory species swell the already impressive resident populations.
