When compared to March, the rainfall in April intensifies. The frequency of showers increases and they become more prolonged and widespread. Despite this, temperatures remain relatively stable compared to the previous month, although slightly cooler towards the evenings due to the increased cloud cover and rainfall.

Snowfall is non-existent in Uganda due to its tropical climate and equatorial location, and April is no exception. Instead, April's weather is dominated by rainfall which, while making travel more challenging, also invigorates Uganda's vegetation, making the landscapes incredibly lush and verdant. This rainfall also leads to the swelling of rivers and lakes, offering an impressive spectacle for visitors to the country.
