El Niño Climate & Flood Risk Context

Uganda is situated in the Lake Victoria basin, where El Niño typically enhances late-year rainfall, raising water levels and causing landslides in mountainous eastern regions. In Jinja, flood risk increases when antecedent soil moisture prevents rainwater from infiltrating, forcing runoff into local municipal drains and river channels.
