Climate & Weather in Kalisizo
Kalisizo has a tropical savanna climate (Köppen Aw) with warm temperatures throughout the year and a strong seasonal rainfall pattern. Long-term climate references for Uganda indicate a bimodal wet season in the south, and Kalisizo’s annual rainfall is plausibly near the national mid-range, with generally humid conditions and frequent cloudiness during the rainy periods. The current clear, cool conditions are consistent with a brief dry or partly dry spell rather than the city’s long-term tropical climate.
