The Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) has forecast sunny and hazy weather conditions across Nigeria from Sunday to Tuesday, advising residents to take necessary precautions.
In its weather outlook released on Saturday in Abuja, NiMet predicted sunshine across the northern region throughout the period, with hazy atmospheric conditions expected over the North-Central states.
For Sunday, the agency forecast localised morning thunderstorms with light rainfall over parts of Rivers, Bayelsa, and Delta states. Later in the day, isolated thunderstorms are expected in Rivers, Delta, Cross River, Akwa Ibom, and Bayelsa states.
On Monday, NiMet anticipates continued sunshine in the North and hazy conditions in the North-Central region. Southern states are expected to experience cloudy skies in the morning, followed by isolated thunderstorms later in the day.
By Tuesday, sunny and hazy conditions are expected to persist in the northern and North-Central regions, while the southern part of the country will see cloudy conditions in the morning and isolated thunderstorms with moderate rainfall later in the day.
NiMet advised residents, particularly those with respiratory conditions, to take precautionary measures as dust particles remain suspended in the air. Motorists were also urged to exercise caution during rainfall due to reduced visibility and slippery roads.
Airline operators were advised to obtain airport-specific weather reports from NiMet to aid effective flight planning, while residents were encouraged to stay informed through the agency’s official weather updates.
