The Nigerian Meteorological Agency has predicted that roughly 15 states across the country will receive severe rains in the next three days.

From Friday, October 6th, through Sunday, October 8th, the agency predicts severe winds in at least 18 states.

The most recent weather forecast was published in the Agency’s Impact-based weather forecast bulletin on Thursday.

The organization had earlier issued a warning about foggy weather and visibility disruptions in various northern regions.

The government agency said this about the expected precipitation:

Over portions of Adamawa, Borno, Gombe, Bauchi, Kaduna, Plateau, Taraba, Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Kogi, Kwara, Oyo, Osun, Ekiti, and Ogun States, there is a chance of moderate to heavy rainfall during the projected period (0000 – 2359hrs, Friday 5th October 2023).
