The Nigerian

over the Central States of the country on Sunday with partly cloudy morning
over southern half of the region.
NiMet’s Weather Outlook by its Central Forecast Office (CFO)

Makurdi and Jalingo axis during the evening hours.
It added that the region would experience day and night time
temperatures of 33 to 37 and 21 to 24 degrees Celsius respectively.
The agency predicted that the Southern States would
experience cloudy to partly cloudy morning with isolated thunderstorms over
Eket, Calabar, Uyo and Ikom.
It also predicted prospects of localised thunderstorms over
the inland cities of Akure, Oshogbo, Ado-Ekiti, Enugu, Awka and Owerri as well
as the coastal cities during the afternoon and evening hours.
NiMet further predicted that the region would experience day

According to NiMet, northern states will experience dust
haze with visibility values of two to five kilometers and poor visibility of
less than or equal to 1000m over Katsina, Maiduguri and Nguru.
It said “the region will also experience day and night time
temperatures in the range of 34 to 38 and 16 to 21 degrees Celsius
respectively.
“Poor horizontal visibilities values are expected to persist
over the north due to dust haze, some part of the central cities are expected
to be hazy.
“However, the remaining half down to the coast will
experience partly cloudy to cloudy conditions with chances of localized
thunderstorms in few cities in the next 24 hours,’’ NiMet predicted.
