Beware Of False Rainfall Onset, NiMet Warns Farmers News NIMET
NiMet stated that farmers in Abuja and some North-Central States, who have experienced some rainfall in the last two weeks should not commence with planting crops as it was false rainfall.
The director-general of NiMet, Prof. Mansur Matazu, who stated this in Abuja, said the rains that we have been witnessed in Abuja and the environs were just a false onset and don’t represent the commencement of the rainy season. According to him, “What happened in Abuja is a false onset as it was predicted in our Seasonal Climate Prediction which we categorized as pre-onset activities. However, extreme southern coastal states like Akwa Ibom State, Bayelsa, and a few other states have already reached their onset which we predicted was starting from March 3rd.
“But for Abuja, it is pre-onset activities that are temporary. Farmers should use the opportunity to do land clearing and pre-raining activities. The onset for FCT is predicted to be from late April to early May depending in the local council.” This is even as NiMet has warned pilots and the general public to be wary of thunderstorms and other hazardous weather events.
