Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMET) has sensitised the public to possible commencement of dry season (popularly known as harmattan) in most parts of the North.
NIMET, in a statement, yesterday, indicated: “In the next 24 hours, there are good prospects of dust haze over Maiduguri, Yobe, Katsina, Kano, Kaduna, Gombe, Bauchi and Jigawa, while other northern states could report sunny and hazy weather with visibility of five to seven kilometres.”
The release added: “It is expected that the weather condition will persist for the next three days. Worthy of note is the observed gradual increase of the daytime temperature. “The dry season is usually a period of no rainfall in the North and a period of little or no rainfall in the South. It is characterised by dust particles, harmattan cold especially at night, high day-time temperature values, fog occurrences, hazy condition and health-related risks such as meningitis, respiratory illnesses and more.”
