Please Geographers we need to get an explanation from the climatologist expert’s about this, all the years in Uganda we have been getting heavy short rains in March – May which usually rains for 15-30 mins and this has been our climatic season but my dia friends things has completely changed now we are getting long rains which rains all most the whole day yet this is supposed to happen in October –September. For sure we need to follow the changes we get in our climate in order to predict the future…… in part two wait for the effects of long rains
