The Nigerian Metrological Agency (NiMet) has predicted increased rainfall intensity in the coming days.
NiMet in a post on its X Handle said “rainfall is expected to increase both in frequency and intensity, especially over the north and northcentral states; while a combination of Intermittent and continuous rains should persist over the southern cities.”
“Dry Spell, and the Little Dry Season (LDS) also known as the mid-summer drought is expected to occur simultaneously towards the end of July” he said.
NiMet further advised that “cooler temperatures (both days and nights) will dominate the southern states due to cloudy atmosphere” this “the public is advised to cover up properly during this period to avert cold-related ailments.”
“The public should make sure that the drainage systems are cleared and properly maintained to prevent flash flooding during this time” NiMet told Nigerians.
It also said the Dry Spell is expected to affect the Central and Northern States the most, expect lean rainfall in this region.
