{UAH} Weather forecasts: Stop misleading us

Every time I listen to meteorologists giving weather forecasts, I always wonder how many Ugandans are listening and following their advice. They have almost all the time got it wrong.

Mid June this year, when it was raining on a daily basis, a spokesman for the meteorology station announced that heavy rains would continue until September, and advised the population to watch out for floods. No sooner had he announced than a dry spell started and the sun burnt the earth mercilessly for almost three months.

Just two days ago, the same officer did not even apologise for giving wrong information the previous time, but went on to broadcast a message of doom that the dry spell would go on till October. No sooner had he left the TV station than the rain started pouring; it rained the entire night and the following day, and it's still raining. More so, every time I fly from Johannesburg to Entebbe, they always warn us of thunderstorms in Entebbe, but on arrival, you are met with the hot sun.

I am therefore questioning either the validity and reliability of the equipment or the credibility of the technicians in giving weather forecast. The government should stop these officers from lying to us.
