Uganda has experienced a number of extreme weather and climate events in the form of floods and droughts. In a number of cases, flood events associated with heavy rainfall have been followed immediately by droughts that tend to persist for several seasons. These events have always had devastating impacts on various sectors of the country's economy. The impacts include destruction of infrastructure, loss of life and property and many other far reaching socio-economic impacts. The impact of these extreme events can be greatly reduced through good understanding of previous climatic events and their associated impacts and ability to project future events in good time so that necessary precautions can be put in place. The objective of this study was to investigate the flood/drought events of September-November (SON) season over Uganda and the associated circulation anomalies.
