The Nigerian Meteorological Agency,(NiMET), has warned that weather temperatures across some cities in Nigeria will rise above normal in the coming days.
NiMET in a statement released on Sunday noted that
temperature is expected to rise above 40 degrees in the next 48 hours where
parts of Kebbi, Sokoto, Zamfara, Taraba, and Adamawa are expected to experience
high temperatures.
It said most parts of the Northern cities are also expected
to record temperatures between 35 to 40 degrees.
The statement further warned that cities like Bauchi, Gombe,
Borno and Yola are at risk of experiencing high thermal discomfort.
The Agency, therefore, advised people in such locations to
drink a lot of fluid through this period to avoid dehydration, assuring
continuous monitoring of the weather and updating Nigerians accordingly.
