In the tropics especially here in Uganda, the climate conditions are either dry or wet depending on the season. Since many of African societies are agricultural and illiterate, seasonal changes have since time immemorial been predicted in a rudimentary way through prediction of seasons. For a very long time farmers have been able to forecast weather changes without use of any modern equipment. This has been done through listening to some birds which sing only in anticipation of rain as well as studying some plant species. However all this is fading away slowly as the predictions have proved unworthy. Rains which used to last for months now last for days or weeks if it happens to rain at all. This has proved disastrous with little or no harvests, causing a lot of misery. Rain means a lot to poor rural communities, forinstance it’s when people know the right time to plant crops as well as anticipating the time of harvesting. This has been very crucial to these communities as they would even at times sell their crops in the gardens for school fees of their children as well as income to run the daily needs of their families. Ultimately, many school going children are dropping out to start looking for work or get married in case of girls. This has inevitably increased the rate of poverty despite the United Nations effort through the millennium development goals. In most communities, man power is basically offered by children, in fact it is seen as a privilege to have many of them specifically for making a firm family. Whereas going to school is important, family issues take priority and hence with the increased climate change problem, the number of school dropouts is on the rise. It is true that we all benefit from our climate, however the groups that entirely depend on it are in the greatest danger. Unbelievably the backbone of most African economies is agriculture Uganda inclusive. This means that if no any other source of livelihood is obtained, thousands of millions of people will end up in catastrophe.  In reality, it is no longer easy for the communities to live by their predictions. Worst still is that the metrology departments’ forecasts have proved futile as well. This leaves one wondering what will happen next, but what is true is that diseases, famine and poverty do the worst harm. It’s such state of affairs that have escorted the dreaded climate change.
