Rainfall. Hence, planners face some uncertainty when using information that is presented on a regional scale. Figure 1. Rainfall in Northern Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda, Kenya and Uganda shows a bimodal rainfall pattern. This study assessed the dekadal rainfall patterns and rain days to determine intra-seasonal rainfall variability during the March–May season using the Mann–Kendall ( M K ) trend test and simple linear regression ( S L R ) over the period 2000–2015. The authors attempt to clarify the implica-

The corresponding figures for 2010, 2009 and 2008 are 26 per cent, 31 per cent and 98 per cent. This paper focuses on the sub-regional significance of ENSO events in Uganda, distinguishing between unimodal and bimodal rainfall zones. The air circulation around the equator is the main driver of the annual rainfall sequence in Africa. The rainfall pattern over Uganda will continue shifting from regions to regions as temperature rises in the various regions. Abstract. The climate of Uganda may become wetter on average and the increase in rainfall may be unevenly distributed and occur as more extreme or more frequent periods of intense rainfall. This is according to climate scientists at the Consultative Group for International Agriculture Research.

Uganda is made up of predominantly old rocks from the ... in rainfall as a consequence of the influence of variations in ... growth because of inadequate and irregular rainfall patterns is a major factor contributing to significant yield reduction and often total crop failure. patterns are lacking.

Annual cropping and cattle systems are mainly found in the northern part of Uganda and coffee and banana systems are mainly found in southern Uganda. Classification of regions whose total net rainfall Background: This study was to assess malaria prevalence in relation to rainfall pattern in different localities of Entebbe Municipality, Uganda. Farming systems of Uganda. Chamoli received 57 per cent excess rainfall in June in 2011, 18 per cent in 2010 and 59 per cent in 2008. The long rainy season occurs in March, April and May (MAM) and the short rainy season in October, November and December (OND). Relationship between malaria infection intensity and rainfall pattern in Entebbe peninsula, Uganda. General pattern In West Africa this rainfall gradient extends over a remarkable short distance, including the Upper Niger Basin and Inner Niger Delta. Rudraprayag also received a deficit rainfall in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2012, but the year 2011 witnessed excess rainfall of 70 per cent. The Farming systems in Uganda are presented in Figure 1. E Odongo-Aginya, G Ssegwanyi, P Kategere, P C Vuzi. Understanding variations in rainfall in tropical regions is important due to its impacts on water resources, health and agriculture.
