The Wednesday morning downpour disrupted business and traffic in several areas in Kampala. 

In areas of Kalerwe, Kyebando and along Gayaza road, floods sealed off various roads.

Several houses and businesses were also affected.

At around 9:00am, several cars were stuck in traffic along Kalerwe– Mperwere road as water flooded half of the section of the road in Kanyanya near the fish factory.

In Kanyanya and Kalerwe, good Samaritans were seen helping people pull out their motorcycles and cars that had slid off the road to drainage channels.
