Entebbe in November
Not the best time
Wet and muggy but cheap. If you're flexible with your plans and don't mind rain delays, you can travel on a budget.
Weather
November continues the short rains with daily afternoon showers becoming the norm. Humidity hovers around 80-85%, and the morning mist off Lake Victoria creates atmospheric but sticky conditions. Thunder and lightning shows are spectacular.

All Months
Entebbe's best months run from June through August and December through February. The dry seasons mean less rain, better roads, and clearer lake views. Temperatures hover around 25°C year-round – comfortable but humid.
Avoid March through May if possible. The long rains turn dirt roads into muddy rivers, and some attractions close temporarily. But accommodation prices drop by 30%, so budget travelers might find the trade-off worthwhile.
October and November bring shorter rains that usually clear by afternoon. This is actually a lovely time to visit – everything stays green, tourist numbers are low, and you'll have the botanical gardens mostly to yourself.
The lake creates its own microclimate, so even during dry season, expect afternoon thunderstorms. Pack a light rain jacket regardless of when you visit.
