Murchison Falls National Park Monthly Climate and Weather Patterns

Long-term climatology data from 1991 to 2020 at a representative coordinate in Murchison Falls National Park establishes a baseline for understanding the region over the calendar year. Comparing twelve distinct monthly periods across average temperature bounds, daily precipitation rates, relative humidity, wind speed, and calculated daylight hours reveals cyclical variations better than a single annual summary.
