The Nigerian Meteorological Agency, NiMet, has predicted three days of dusty haze and sunshine from Monday to Wednesday this week.
The agency while making this prediction in its weather outlook on Sunday, predicted sunny skies to prevail over the Northern region with the exception of Sokoto, Zamfara, Kaduna, Katsina, Kano and Bauchi, where dust haze conditions are expected on Monday.
While envisaging that the North central cities should be in partly cloudy skies, with spells of sunshine throughout the forecast period, NiMet predicted increased cloudiness over the Inland and Coastal cities of the South, with prospects of localised thunderstorms over parts of Calabar, Eket, Yenagoa, Lagos, Ijebu-ode and Port Harcourt during the afternoon and evening periods.
The dust haze conditions are expected over the Northern region throughout the forecast period on Wednesday, while sunny skies with patches of clouds should hover in the North central cities, with slim chances of localised thunderstorms over parts of Abuja and Kogi state in the afternoon and evening periods.
“On Tuesday, sunny skies are expected over the Northern region with patches of clouds over parts of Adamawa, Taraba, Gombe and Southern Borno during the forecast period.
“Sunny skies with patches of clouds are expected over the North central cities during the forecast period.
“Inland and Coastal cities in the South should be in cloudy atmosphere with prospects of isolated thunderstorms over parts of Enugu, Edo, Delta, Imo, Anambra, Ogun, Oyo, Lagos, Cross River, Rivers and Akwa Ibom later in the day,” NiMet said.
