Morning rain in Kampala leaves trail of destruction

Michael Kananura, spokesperson for the Directorate of Traffic and Road Safety, advised motorists to avoid the affected areas and, where possible, delay their journeys.

“Do not attempt to drive through flooded areas, as vehicles can become buoyant and lose traction,” Kananura warned. “It’s better to postpone your journey than to risk your life.”

Even parts of the Northern Bypass—recommended as an alternative route—were submerged, further complicating traffic and emergency response efforts.
